S40 / S40F Chair
Mart Stam, 1935 

The S40 is a garden chair whose concept and design are reminiscent of Mart Stam's classic S43: clear, unobtrusive forms, optimum seating comfort and high quality materials and finish. These chairs were first illustrated in the Thonet catalogue in 1935 under the designation B 33 g (g for "Garten" = garden in German). The slats of the current model are made of solid iroko.

Mart Stam

Mart Stam

Mart Stam, born in 1899 in Purmerend in the Netherlands, was one of the leaders of modern architecture and a pioneer of contemporary furniture design. He attracted attention in 1927 with his architectural contribution to the WeiĂźenhof Estate in Stuttgart, both as an architect and as a designer experimenting with tubular steel. In 1928 and 1929, he worked as an architect in Frankfurt, where he was involved in the construction of the Hellerhof housing estate. At the same time, he was invited to lecture at the Bauhaus, where he taught elementary construction theory and town planning. From 1930 to 1934, Mart Stam was active in Russia and other countries; he then worked as an architect in Amsterdam until 1948. In 1939, he became head of the Academy of Arts and Crafts in Amsterdam, and in 1950 he was appointed director of the Conservatory of Applied Arts in Berlin-WeiĂźensee. He returned to Amsterdam in 1953, but emigrated to Switzerland in 1977, where he died on 23 February 1986 in Goldach. Â
