La chaise S 32 PV en cuir a été créée par Marcel Breuer pour la marque Thonet. C'est une variante de l'icône du design, la célèbre chaise cantilever réalisée en 1928-1930. Naviguant aisément entre les différents styles de décoration, la S 32 s’intègre parfaitement aussi bien dans une pièce résolument moderne que dans un espace où différents styles et époques se rencontrent. Le siège à piètement luge S 32 et la variante S 64 avec accoudoirs sont sans aucun doute les classiques en acier tubulaire les plus connus.
Avec sa structure en acier chromé et son assise rembourrée et revêtue de cuir, la chaise S 32 PVThonet est intemporelle et durable, s'accordant avec tous les styles d'intérieurs.
Architect and furniture designer, Marcel Breuer, born in 1902 in Hungary, had a strong influence on the Bauhaus school, where he was a brilliant student. After a year in Paris working for an architect, he returned to the Bauhaus, where he ran the carpentry workshop from 1925 to 1928, combining art and technology. During this time, he created his tubular steel collection, including the B3 chair, better known as the Wassily Chair, published by Knoll. This armchair is now recognized as one of the icons of modern design. After a brief stint in London from 1935 to 1937 with Isokon, one of the first modern design manufacturers in the UK, he emigrated to the United States. Marcel Breuer taught at Harvard’s Architecture School and worked as an architect in collaboration with Johnson and Paul Rudolph, and later Walter Gropius. He was the first architect in history to exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
