Wassily Chair Model B3 in Black Leather by Marcel Breuer, Italy, 1925
Wassily chair also known as the B3 Chair, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925 while he was working at the Bauhaus.
Inspired by the curving handlebars of the Adler bicycle, the Wassily’s chrome-finished tubular steel frame is seamless in its assemblage. The design’s seating surfaces – cowhide leather, belting leather, or canvas slings – maintain their crisp tautness for decades. Named for Wassily Kandinsky, the father of abstract painting and a colleague of Breuer's at the Bauhaus, the Wassily Chair is a symbol of the industrial heroism and engineering invention of the early 20th century. Made in Italy, 1970s.
