B40 chair designed by Marcel Breuer for Tecta is based on the original design of 1925.

Seat and backrest in iron yarn, saddle-leather, fabric or leather with black Cora on backside.
Here, for the first time ever, seamless steel tubing has been employed in the construction of seating furniture. At smaller scales this material is more resilient than any other previously utilized in seating furniture. The material affords the furniture a distinctively light character and appearance.
"My flight of fancy – which came to me whilst cycling in a train of thought that led from the handlebars of my bicycle to the engineering of tubular steel furniture – quite unexpectedly spread across the globe" remarked Marcel Breuer in 1937 on the inspiration which led to the development in 1924 of tubular steel furniture and the most influential contribution to modern furniture to emerge from Germany in the first half of the twentieth century.
Made in Germany by Tecta. Licensed reproductions of Bauhaus Designs by Tecta are approved by the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin and carry the signet "Original Bauhaus Modell".
