Revolutions in design are often driven by advancements in material and technology. Wassily Chair by Marcel Breuer is one of these with no doubts. Inspired by the bent form and strength of a bicycle metal handlebar, Breuer applied the same material and construction principles to chair design.
The Wassily Chair was originally known as the Model B3 Chair, but was later famous as the Wassily Chair in homage to Breuer's friend and colleague at Bauhaus, Wassily Kandinsky, the 20th Century artist known as the father of abstract painting.
Assonhom's Wassily Chair reproduction also applies seamless steel tubing which allows tubes to be bent with breaking at the seam. The taut, un-upholstered seat, back, and armrests of simple black canvas contribute to the stark, dematerialized appearance of the chair. The original chair eatured a fabric seat, back and arm rests, but the re-introduced version was also available in white, black or brown leather after World War II. This design remains today in Assonhom's reproduction. Leather straps out of Cowhide leather or synthetic leather are available for your option. For usage on hard grounds, the skids are equipped with plastic slides.
With the also new black-silver contrasts which also remind of valuable jewelry and modern machines, he created "magic of precision", as a French critic wrote. It marked the beginning of a new period in modern furniture with a design. Even though the chair was first created in 1926, it still maintains a progressive apperance today.
