Martin Stam Cantilever Chair | Chrome and Black Leather
A disciplined modernist presence that holds its ground without ornament or excess.
Designed by Martin Stam in the late 1920s as part of the Bauhaus exploration of tubular steel furniture, the cantilever chair removed the rear legs entirely, relying on engineered tension and material honesty. This example is a contract grade vintage chair, consistent with Australian under license production, commonly manufactured by Stylecraft among others, and supplied to commercial interiors. The result is a chair built for daily use, visual clarity, and long term endurance, retaining the authority that made the design a fixture in offices, institutions, and serious interiors.
Measures: 55 cm W × 60 cm D × 80 cm H (Seat 45 cm H)
