Wassily Chair (Model B3)
Marcel Breuer, 1925
History
Inspired by the tubular steel of a bicycle handlebar, Breuer's B3 reduced the club chair to floating planes of leather suspended in a chrome frame. It became an emblem of Bauhaus industrial idealism and was later nicknamed after painter Wassily Kandinsky.
