Jil Sander and furniture maker Thonet expand their ongoing signature line, JS. THONET. This latest release brings updated versions of the S 411 lounge chair and the S 1070 dining table into contemporary living spaces. Both models build directly on Bauhaus design principles pioneered by Marcel Breuer in the 1920s. Steel tubing forms the core architectural framework across the entire range. Every single piece features a discreetly engraved logo on the metallic frame to verify authentic production.
The S 411 lounge chair updates a classic Thonet factory model from 1932. Sander wraps the generous spring-cushioned seating entirely in premium leather, using minimal piping across the rear panel. The curved S-shaped steel frame flows upward to form armrests resembling skate blades. You experience floating visual proportions created by this cantilevered metal structure. The S 411 lounge chair carries a base price of €5,747.70. You combine the lounge chair with the matching S 411 H footstool, available from €2,623.95, or align your layout with the B 97 nesting side tables.
The S 1070 table references a 2004 furniture design by Glen Oliver Löw. Löw originally adapted structural ideas from Marcel Breuer’s B 9 nesting tables. The top surface measures 220 centimeters long by 100 centimeters wide. A continuous gap splits the wooden tabletop longitudinally into two distinct halves. This construction allows you to combine two different high-gloss colors or maintain a uniform surface finish. The S 1070 table starts at a base price of €9,978.15.
You select your preferred aesthetic from two distinct specification lines: SERIOUS and NORDIC. The SERIOUS line applies a smoked glossy titanium plating over the tubular steel. Rich graphite tones define the color range, featuring black, ruby red, deep green, and navy blue leather alongside matching lacquered wooden surfaces.
The NORDIC line presents a softer material palette. Frames feature a matte nickel-silver coating displaying subtle golden undertones. White-pigmented solid oak forms the wood components. Upholstery options include light caramel, burnt walnut, and alabaster white leather.
The JS. THONET collection originated in 2025 with reinterpretations of Marcel Breuer’s S 32 and S 64 cantilever chairs alongside nesting side tables. The addition of the S 411 lounge chair and S 1070 table completes a cohesive furniture program for residential and commercial environments. Each design respects the structural discipline of mid-century minimalism while introducing revised surface treatments and precise material pairings.
Thonet builds each piece in Frankenberg, Germany, pairing industrial steel processing with hand-stitched leatherwork. You place these structural designs inside residential dining rooms, corporate boardrooms, or hotel lounges.
