Product Details
Materials & Finish
The Wassily Chair is constructed from tubular steel with a polished chrome finish that resists scratches and oxidation. The seat, backrest, and armrests are made from high-quality aniline leather straps, chosen for their durability and refined appearance. All materials reflect the Bauhaus principle of combining modern technology with honest expression of materials.
Construction
The frame is formed from precision-bent tubular steel with welded joints that ensure rigidity and stability while keeping the chair lightweight. The cantilevered structure minimizes material use but maintains strength, and the smooth, rounded edges of the tubing contribute to safety and long-term durability.
Comfort & Functionality
The leather straps provide flexible seating comfort by adapting to the body while retaining their shape over time. The open frame and lightweight build make the chair easy to reposition within a space. Its surfaces are simple to clean and maintain, and the reduced geometric form allows the chair to adapt seamlessly to a variety of interiors.

Marcel Breuer
Marcel Breuer (1902–1981) was a Hungarian-born modernist architect and designer, celebrated as one of the most influential figures of the Bauhaus movement. Trained at the Bauhaus in Weimar, he quickly rose to prominence with his innovative use of tubular steel in furniture, most notably the Wassily Chair (1925). Breuer later emigrated to the United States, where he taught at Harvard and worked with Walter Gropius. His architectural career produced iconic works such as the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris and the Whitney Museum in New York. Breuer’s rational, functional approach shaped modern design and continues to inspire architecture worldwide.
