Wassily Chair

Marcel Breuer designed the Wassily chair in honor of his colleague, the father of abstract painting, Dessau Kandinsky. In the spirit of abstraction, the Wassily Chair reduced the forms of a traditional club chair to its simplest contours, represented by a seamless steel tubing (inspired by the handlebars of a bicycle. The surfaces of a traditional club chair (seat, back and armrests) were also abstracted and represented by thick and sleek leather slings. Many regard the Dessau as the first chair built with bent steel tubing.
