Wassily Lounge Chair is designed by Marcel Breuer for Knoll with frame in seamless tubular steel with polished chrome finish; opaque, plastic, snap-in-place glides.
Upholstery in thick cowhide or Spinneybeck belting leather and haired hide, as well as natural canvas.
The iconic Wassily Chair, named in honour of the artist Wassily Kandinsky, was designed by Marcel Breuer while an apprentice at the Bauhaus, where he become a teacher then. In 1925 the designer reduced the form of the classic club chair to its elemental lines and planes and, inspired by the frame of a bicycle, he has created the first tubular chair; Breuer was one of the pioneers of the use of metal tubing, a feature that identifies rationalism in the history of design.
The metal allows to create furniture versatile, mobile and light, both in terms of weight and visual impact, capable of enhancing the legibility and livability of architectural space.
The construction of strips suspended on steel tubes, became immediately a symbol of Modernism.
