This early original of Wassily pair of lounge chairs, are with the original white leather, highly sought after by collectors. … more This early original of Wassily pair of lounge chairs, are with the original white leather, highly sought after by collectors. The leather has no structural issues. The Wassily model, designed in 1925, tubular structure in curved and chrome-plated steel, seat, backrest and armrests furnished with white leather straps, saddle stitching. This edition is in its original state, circa 1962.

The Wassily chair, also known as the B3 model chair, was designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925-1926, while he was head of the Bauhaus cabinetmaking workshop in Dessau, Germany. Breuer, like many of his colleagues, is an architect and furniture designer. He was an influential modernist. He had a great interest in modular constructions and simple forms. Despite popular belief, the chair was not designed for the painter Wassily Kandinsky, who was, at the same time, a member of the Bauhaus faculty. However, we know that Kandinsky admired the finished chair, and that Breuer made one for Kandinsky's workshop. It was in fact a few decades later that the chair took the name "Wassily": at the time, it was re-edited by the Italian manufacturer Gavina who had heard this anecdote on Kandinsky. First published by Thonet in fabric in resistant and shiny cotton thread, it was Gavina the Italian publisher who replaced the fabric with leather straps. This chair was revolutionary in the use of materials (tubular curved steel and canvas) and manufacturing methods. It is said that Breuer was inspired by the handlebars of his bicycle for the use of steel tubes to build the chair. The chair was mass produced from the 1960s, and over time has become a Classic of modern design. It was first Thonet who had the license from 1925-1962, then Gavina until, 1968. Since 1968 the rights have been held by Knoll. less
