Widely known as a trailblazer in the use of bentwood in furniture, the European manufacturer has reimagined the places in which we gather.

Often called the Coffee House chair — the company’s first substantial order was for a Viennese coffeehouse — the No. 14 remains an icon. Carefully reupholstered in de Le Cuona's versatile Berlin Limewash ($375 net/yard) for Sag Harbor's Claxton House. de Le Cuona is a purveyor of luxury textiles for interiors renowned for the beauty and quality of their exquisitely understated natural fabrics responsibly crafted from the world’s finest fibres.

Berlin in Limewash is a pale, chalky neutral that evokes aged stone and sun-bleached surfaces. The faded herringbone pattern and wool-linen blend create a soft, fleecy texture with a relaxed yet tailored feel.

Not all Antonín Šuman chairs are guaranteed to be marked. The presence of a mark can depend on factors such as production year: earlier pieces may lack consistent marking compared to later models, condition: some markings may have worn off over time, especially on vintage items and type of chair: different models may have different marking practices. This chair is unmarked as Thonet/Suman. See less
