Wassily Chair By Marcel Breuer For Gavina, 1960s

Chairish

$1,183

This Bauhaus-style chair, designed by Marcel Breuer between 1925 and 1926, is considered the first chair in history made from bent steel tubing, an innovation inspired by the lightness and strength of Adler bicycle handlebars. The design features a complex structure of continuous lines that defines space architecturally, eliminating the traditional bulk of an armchair to leave only its essential “skeleton.” The design stands out for the arrangement of taut black leather straps (originally Eisengarn fabric was used), which appear to float above the chrome frame. Ergonomics is achieved through the precise angle of these bands, which provide support for the seat, backrest, and armrests, creating a sensation of suspension. It is a revolutionary piece with great visual impact, which evolved from an avant-garde experiment into an icon of modern luxury. It is ideal for living rooms with high ceilings, minimalist reception areas, or studios looking to incorporate one of the most influential works of the 20th century. This piece has an attribution mark, I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
