Wassily Chair Cowhide Green Bauhaus - 55th Anniversary
Wassily is an armchair designed by Marcel Breuer for the Knoll brand. Made of curved tubular steel with a polished chrome finish and leather straps, on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of its production, it is dressed in two special leathers.The Wassily armchair was designed in 1925, when Marcel Breuer was still an apprentice at the Bauhaus school. The armchair was created for the apartment of painter Wassily Kandinsky, a leading exponent of the Bauhaus, and is also known as Model B3. Inspired by a bicycle frame and the constructivist theories of the De Stjil movement, Breuer reduced the form of the classic club chair to its essentials. The Wassily chair is considered revolutionary for this reason, but also for its choice of materials such as bent steel tubing and production methods. Lightweight, sophisticated, and with clean lines, it is a true piece of modern design history for use in living rooms as well as offices and work spaces. The KnollStudio logo and Marcel Breuer's signature are engraved on the base of the chair. Knoll International launches the Wassily "Cowhide" leather chair as a Special Edition to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the production of the historic design chair, in two exclusive colors, cognac and greenIn this version: upholstered in Cowhide Green Bauhaus leather.
