Wassily lounge chair, black leather

Knoll’s Wassily lounge chair is a Bauhaus classic designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925. A student of the Bauhaus school himself, Breuer was a pioneer in designing furniture made from tubular steel – according to Breuer, the bent steel design was based on the frame of a bicycle. The Wassily lounge chair consists a tube-like frame made of bent steel with several seating options.

Inspired by constructivism and the De Stijl movement, the Wassily chair is one of the most iconic pieces of the Bauhaus style and all of modern furniture design. The chair is also a perfect companion for Breuer’s iconic Laccio table.
