Available in 4/5 weeksWassily is an armchair designed by Marcel Breuer for the Knoll brand. Made of curved tubular steel with a polished chrome finish, or Onyx Ultra Matte, White Ultra Matte, Dark Red Ultra Matte finish and leather straps.
The Wassily armchair was designed in 1925, when Marcel Breuer was still an apprentice at the Bauhaus school. The chair was created for the flat of the painter Wassily Kandinsky, a leading exponent of the Bauhaus, and is also known as Model B3. Inspired by the frame of a bicycle and the constructivist theories of the De Stjil movement, Breuer reduced the form of the classic club chair to its essentials. The Wassily chair is considered revolutionary for this reason, but also for its choice of materials such as bent steel tubing and its production methods. Light, sophisticated and with clean lines, it is a true piece of modern design history, to be used in the living room, but also in offices and workspaces. The Knoll Studio logo and Marcel Breuer's signature are engraved on the base of the chair.
In this version: structure in ultra matt BX Onyx / upholstery, leather L80 Black.
Marcel Breuer stays between designers and architects that made '90s history. Born in 1902 a Pécs in Hungary, he studied art in Wien and later he interrupted his studies to access “Staatliches Bauhaus" school in Weimar. After a period in Paris, he came back to the Bauhaus school as a professor. During the Nazi period was forced to move to England and then he started to teach architecture at Harvard University. Among the most important collaborations, the one with Thonet and Knoll produced collections of tables, chairs, and armchairs of timeless design. Marcel Breuer died in New York in 1981 leaving a mark in the design history.
For over 80 years, Knoll has been well aware of the importance of modern design in creating spaces that can inspire, evolve and last. This vision coupled with a commitment towards sustainable design brings to life captivating collections of chairs, tables, armchairs, sofas and other furniture proposals for the home and the office. Knoll's extensive catalog includes unforgettable pieces like the Womb, Tulip and Bertoia chairs, along with new trend-setting solutions.
