Story

A design of 1933

Thonet calls the 1933 design one of the classics of tubular steel furniture; in its dimensions the set recalls Breuer's B 9.

Pulled over the edge

The opening on one side lets the tables slide across the rim of a sofa, armchair or bed, the page says, and they also push into one another.
