Product Description
Wassily Chair
Marcel Breuer was teaching at the Bauhaus when he conceived one of the century’s most important innovations in furniture design: the use of tubular steel. Inspired by his beloved bicycle, Breuer used the unconventional material to stunning effect in his Wassily Chair. Named for the painter Kandinsky, Breuer’s friend and fellow Bauhaus instructor, the Wassily is a sleek, modernist interpretation of the traditional overstuffed club chair and prompted Breuer to call it his "least artistic, most logical" work. Shortly after the chair was first presented, designers everywhere began experimenting with tubular steel, leading to a new era of furniture construction. Made of tubular steel with a polished chrome finish and either cowhide leather or a range of Spinneybeck belting or hair-hide leathers.
