Wassily Chair

The Wassily Chair, designed at the Bauhaus in 1925 by Marcel Breuer, marks the beginning of modern furniture design. One of the first furniture designs to make use of steel tubing the Wassily Chair’s elaborately shaped frame is combined with a leather upholstery that forms the seat and backrest. Breuer’s constructivist design radically presents its statics for all to see and thus connects aesthetics and function in a unique and innovative manner.
