S 34 Cantilever Armchair

Bulthaup S34 Cantilever Armchairs by Mart Stam – Special Limited Edition, c.1993. This scarce re-edition of Mart Stam's legendary S34 cantilever chair — originally introduced in 1927 and a Bauhaus design icon — was manufactured by Bulthaup in the early 1990s in very limited numbers. Unlike the widely available Thonet versions, the Bulthaup production stands out for its rarity, refined craftsmanship, and collectible character. Upholstered in supple cognac leather with the embossed Bulthaup mark and mounted on a polished chrome tubular steel frame, these armchairs combine sculptural modernism with understated luxury. The S34 by Mart Stam is regarded as the first cantilever chair in design history, a groundbreaking innovation that shaped modern seating. Bulthaup's 1993 re-edition, produced in extremely small numbers, is almost never seen on the secondary market. Known today as a benchmark of German luxury craftsmanship, Bulthaup began as a fine furniture maker before becoming a global luxury kitchen brand. These chairs embody that heritage: timeless, exclusive, and highly sought after by discerning collectors.
