An incomparable design piece: Lounge armchair 808 by Thonet
The lounge chair 808 by Thonet is a top-class piece of seating furniture that achieves its unmistakable, strong character through its play with contrasts. As a sophisticated reinterpretation of the classic wing chair, it radiates both lightness and security. Of course, comfort is not neglected either: the upholstery in a loose cushion look developed especially for the lounge chair 808 ensures cosiness.
Thonet - over 200 years of tradition
The Frankenberg-based manufacturer stands for durability and an irrepressible drive for innovation. Thonet was the first manufacturer to bring bentwood furniture onto the market and the first to market tubular steel furniture. Michael Thonet founded his own workshop in Boppard am Rhein in 1819. In the 1830s he experimented with strips of veneer boiled in glue and is therefore regarded as the inventor of "furniture made of bent wood". In 1842, he was invited to Vienna by the Austrian state chancellor Prince Metternich and the coffee house culture there laid the foundation for Thonet's later success. Given this desire for innovation, it is not surprising that Thonet also cultivated links with the Bauhaus and Marcel Breuer. Thus Thonet implemented Breuer's experiments with cold-bent tubular steel and produced the famous cantilever chairs.

The 121 cm high, 78 cm wide and 78 cm deep lounge chair has a seat height of 38 cm.
