Thonet Frame Chair S 160

Where the S 160 family can fit

Consider this collection for meeting rooms, conference areas and project spaces that need upholstered chairs with armrests. Fixed arms can provide a consistent place to rest the arms during a discussion, while the frame-chair format keeps the design focused on the room’s shared seating needs. The chairs do not have a mechanism or adjustable seat height, back height or seat depth, so they are best considered where a standard seated position works for the intended users.

For a larger room, think about how the chairs will be used over a typical day: occasional client meetings, regular team sessions or longer workshops. This helps you decide how much emphasis to place on upholstery feel, color coordination and the way the chairs fit around the meeting table. The listed maximum load is 135 kg; review the relevant product information when checking suitability.

How to compare the three models

Start with the model name and frame details

Compare the S 160 SPF, S 166 SPF and S 168 PF product listings side by side. The S 160 SPF is identified as a four-leg model, while the S 168 PF description specifies a beech plywood shell and chrome-plated steel tubing. The supplied descriptions do not provide a complete specification comparison for every model, so avoid assuming that one model’s construction details apply to the others. Confirm the frame, shell and any finish options on the exact listing you plan to select.

Choose upholstery and colors for the room

Fabric and leather are listed upholstery materials, and the collection’s upholstery color options include neutrals such as beige, black, brown and grey, alongside brighter colors. Base colors are listed as black and silver. Availability may vary by model, so check the selected chair’s options rather than relying on the full family-wide list. A restrained palette can help chairs blend into a formal conference room, while a contrasting color can make them more visible in a collaborative area.

What to check before selecting

Confirm the chair’s width, listed as 57 cm, and allow room for the fixed armrests when planning table spacing. Check that the non-adjustable design suits the people and activities in the space, then verify upholstery, base color and construction details for the specific model. The collection lists a two-year warranty and is marked circular; consult the product information for the scope and meaning of those details.

If you are furnishing several rooms, compare the intended use and finish requirements for each area before settling on a consistent model. Myntwork offers these Thonet chairs on a monthly lease, which can be considered as part of your workspace furnishing plan. Review the individual listings to confirm the options available for the quantity and configuration you need.
