This is probably one of the most famous pieces of Bauhaus furniture. Its formal and classic character brings atmosphere to any home or office. Breuer made this comfortable chair for his friend, the painter Wassily Kandinsky, while he was teaching at the Bauhaus Academy. Hence the name! As daring and fresh as Kandinsky’s paintings, the Wassily Chair remains an astonishing work. Its strong, spare lines express all the industrial heroism and engineering invention of the new architecture. While formal and classic, its animated character brings life to any residence or office
In spirit and stature, the Breuer Wassily has few equals. Marcel Breuer may not be as famous as his modernist contemporaries Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, but he was certainly as brilliant a furniture designer, maybe even more so. The Wassily Chair (1925), the first bent tubular-steel chair ever, is a case in point; all first tries should be this good.
