Marcel Breuer's S 35 L armchair was first presented in 1930 at the Grand Palais in Paris as a contribution by the German Werkbund. Today the classic lounge chair is manufactured by Thonet in a variety of leather versions. Characteristic of the S 35 L is the doubling of the cantilever effect, which results from the fact that the armrests of the chair spring independent of the chair and thus balance the swing, making the S 35 L particularly comfortable.

...And also reawaken an interest in furniture design: Stam and Bruchhäuser agreeing a never realised cooperation, while in 1979 Thonet released with Stam's S 67 a reworking of Marcel Breuer's S 64, and also developing a prototype for a cantilever wingbacked armchair...

Anton Lorenz: From Avant-Garde to Industry @ Vitra Design Museum Schaudepot, Weil am Rhein
