Wassily Armchair By Marcel Breuer Design Bauhaus 1970's

Wassily armchair by Marcel Breuer, Bauhaus design, 1970s.

A modernist icon consisting of a bent chromed tubular steel frame and black leather straps (backrest, seat, and armrests) stretched between the uprights. Its light silhouette, self-supporting structure, and low, enveloping seat. Designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925–26 at the Bauhaus (model B3), the "Wassily" chair pioneered the use of tubular steel, inspired by bicycle handlebars. Its radical form—continuous lines, absence of bulk, and taut surfaces—makes it a manifesto of functionalism. The model was produced in various editions over the decades (Thonet, Gavina, then Knoll) and became widely available in the 1970s, the period of this version. Structure: tubular chromed steel. Upholstery: webbing/black leather. Production: 1970s. An absolute Bauhaus classic: graphic, airy, and easy to integrate into both contemporary and vintage interiors.
