| Wassily chair by Marcel Breuer |
The Wassily chair, also known as the B3 model model, was designed by modern architects and Hungarian Breuer birth furniture designers between 1925-1926.
Marcel Breuer was inspired to make a chair while driving an offer, he draw to take tubular steel used for handlebars and bend him pieces of furniture.
Marcel Breuer takes the traditional shape of a soft club seat and simplifies it until only in the form of an outline, with canvas chairs, backs and arms.
The chair was immediately known as the Wassily chair, named after Russian painter Wassy Kandinsky was produced when produced.
Traditional chair design 1925
The model for this chair is the traditional overstuffed club chair; yet all that remains is its mere outline, an elegant composition traced in gleaming steel.
The canvas seat, back, and arms seem to float in space. The body of the sitter does not touch the steel framework. Marcel Breuer spoke of the chair as "my most extreme work, the least artistic, the most logical, the least 'cozy' and the most mechanical.
An earlier version of this chair was designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925, and within a year, designers everywhere were experimenting with tubular steel, which would take furniture into a radically new direction.
The chair became known as the Wassily chair after the painter Kandinsky, Breuer's friend and fellow Bauhaus instructor, who praised the design when it was first produced.
