Thonet's Idea of the Contemporary Office: Design and Interaction

The office is not just a workplace for the historic brand Thonet. It’s a dynamic platform for interaction and creativity. In a world where professional spaces are becoming increasingly fluid, inspiration comes not from fixed workstations, but from versatile stimulating environments. Just as the bar was once the centre of conviviality, today the office must be a meeting place where ideas and knowledge can be shared.

Thonet has created solutions for this evolution, such as the S 32 Lounge: a modern reinterpretation of the historical S32 designed by Mart Stam. With its tubular steel frame, this cantilevered chair embodies lightness and comfort. Its elastic support makes it perfect for coworking environments, lounge rooms or even houses where people work from remote.

The versatility of Thonet design is completed with the 1500 table, designed by Wolfgang C.R. Mezger, which has two heights to allow the user to easily alternate between sitting and standing work. This feature helps to promote spur-of-the-moment meetings and creative breaks. It provides perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality for the modern office.
