The reimagined S 64 fits effortlessly into diverse settings—from sleek office spaces to cozy home environments. Its dark woven cane offers a contemporary edge that complements the chair’s classic form, making it a standout piece in any space. Beyond aesthetics, the material’s high lightfastness, durability, and abrasion resistance ensure that the S 64 DARK MELANGE is as functional as it is aesthetic.
Thonet’s collaboration with young designer Jan Christian Schulz was crucial in developing the DARK MELANGE cane. Together, they explored various dyeing techniques and material properties to achieve the perfect balance of color and durability. This rigorous process ensures that the new cane meets the highest standards of quality, maintaining the integrity and elegance of Breuer’s original design. The DARK MELANGE collection features five distinctive wood stain colors—Black, Chestnut, Amber, Rosewood, and Sage—each paired with a matching powder-coated frame. These colors highlight the natural grain of the wood, creating a rich, textured look that pairs beautifully with the dark cane. The powder-coated frames, a departure from the original chromed steel, add warmth and a more inviting feel to the S 64, enhancing its appeal in private and public spaces.
