The B34 Armchair, designed by Marcel Breuer for Thonet in 1929, is a quintessential example of Bauhaus design. This particular circa 1930s iteration features a cantilevered aluminum frame, a testament to early modernist innovation. The seat and back are upholstered in brown canvas, showing signs of wear consistent with its vintage status, including tears, loose stitching, stains, and blemishes. The painted beech wood arms may also exhibit scratches and spots. This chair is intentionally preserved in its as-found condition to maintain its historical integrity, with rust present on the frame. It measures 25 inches deep, 22.5 inches wide, and 33.5 inches high, with a seat height of 16.5 inches.
