Description
Marcel Breuer was studying at the Bauhaus when he designed the first tubular steel chair and became a leading advocate of metal furniture. He designed this armchair in 1925 for painter Wassily Kandinsky's apartment. Its tubular structure is inspired by that of a bicycle. An icon of modern design, the Wassily armchair is still produced by Knoll using tubular steel and taut leather, in line with Marcel Breuer's original specifications. The Knoll logo and Marcel Breuer's signature are engraved on the base of the chair.

Marcel BREUER
Architect and furniture designer, Marcel Breuer, born in 1902 in Hungary, had a strong influence on the Bauhaus school, where he was a brilliant student. After a year in Paris working for an architect, he returned to the Bauhaus, where he ran the carpentry workshop from 1925 to 1928, combining art and technology. During this time, he created his tubular steel collection, including the B3 chair, better known as the Wassily Chair, published by Knoll. This armchair is now recognized as one of the icons of modern design. After a brief stint in London from 1935 to 1937 with Isokon, one of the first modern design manufacturers in the UK, he emigrated to the United States. Marcel Breuer taught at Harvard’s Architecture School and worked as an architect in collaboration with Johnson and Paul Rudolph, and later Walter Gropius. He was the first architect in history to exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
