This chair is a simplification of the Mart Stam and Breuer cantilever armchairs of 1929
(Standard-Mobel, Thonet Model B34). Since the continuous tube which forms both the base and the arms also serves to keep the back vertical apart, the "handlebar" back cross piece of the earlier model is eliminated. This chair began to be produced by several companies in Italy during the 1960's. At present, it is one of the most widely sold modern chairs. Chair with chrome-plated or painted tubular steel frame; seat and back in hide with laces.
