As a Bauhaus apprentice in 1925, Marcel Breuer was inspired by the functional design of a bicycle's tube frame and conceived the first tubular steel chair. The concept of a combining steel tubes and leather strips to create a chair was innovative, yet so functionally and aesthetically sound that the Wassily chair has become a classic symbol of modernism. Named after the artist, Wassily Kandinsky, the Wassily chair is made of tubular steel finished in polished chrome.

The Design

Marcel Breuer's designs stand today as paradigms of 20th Century design. The Wassily chair won the Museum of Modern Art Award in 1968, and in 1982 it garnered recognition as a "Piece of Art" in West Germany. The seemingly simple design is truly inspired by the Bauhaus era, giving this chair a classic look and feel.

Every Wassily chair has an individual number of identification and authenticity. In addition, the KnollStudio® logo and Marcel Breuer's signature are stamped into the base of the chair. Available in a variety of leathers, the Wassily chair will become the perfect addition to your modern home.
