S 35 L Armchair

The comfortable club chair known as the S 35 L Armchair, was presented in 1930 at the ‘Paris Grand Palais’ as a contribution by the Deutscher Werkbund.

Together with Walter Gropius and Herbert Bayer, Marcel Breuer organized this premier of contemporary German furniture production in France. With the S 35 he succeeded in integrating all of the functions of a tubular steel cantilever chair with the construction of a single uninterrupted line. The cantilever effect was thus doubled because the armrests, which flex independently from the seat, balance the swinging of the seat and backrest frame that projects towards the back. A matching footstool is available.
