Knoll, NO RESERVE PRICE - Marcel Breuer - Chair - Wassily Chair -

Foundational Icon of Bauhaus: Wassily Armchair (Model B3) – Design Marcel Breuer – Original Knoll International Production (Ivory Leather) We present at auction a milestone of 20th-century design: the famed Wassily chair (Model B3), designed in 1925 by Marcel Breuer and produced by Knoll International. In this exemplar, the chromed steel tubular frame dialogue with a refined ivory-toned leather upholstery, offering a combination of extraordinary visual lightness, elegance, and geometric rigor. Design and History: The Steel Tubular Revolution Wassily represents the very first domestic furniture to employ bent steel tubing, forever breaking with the tradition of conventional padding: Mechanical Inspiration: Breuer had the insight to use curved steel tubing after observing the handlebars and frame of his Adler bicycle, sensing its potential for strength and lightness. Transparent Architecture: The joint of continuous lines and tensioned leather strips creates a suspended seat that seems to float in space, perfectly embodying the Bauhaus maxim: functionality, essentialism, and formal transparency. Auction Lot Conditions: Vintage Good Conservation State (Well Maintained and Sanitized) - The auction piece presents itself in good general condition, with an authentic patina that testifies to its history: - Chrome-Plated Steel Frame: The chassis is solid, robust, and structurally intact. Following a recent cleaning and polishing, the surfaces maintain good luster and show physiological and light oxidation marks that give the piece authentic vintage charm. - Ivory Leather Upholstery: The ivory leather bands are in good condition and hold tension well. The leather has been thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and treated with professional nourishing products to preserve its softness and elasticity. - Authenticity Guaranteed: The piece’s originality is certified by the Knoll International label/mark on the frame.
