A cantilever chair has no back legs, relying for support on the properties of the material from which it is made. This famous form was designed by Mart Stam in 1926, and remains an important example of 20th century design.

Another designer of cantilever chairs was Hungarian designer Marcel Breuer who was experimenting with steel tubing.
