“Some pieces don’t just decorate: they tell stories that never go out of style.”
Created in 1925 by Marcel Breuer, the Wassily Chair is an icon of modern design. Inspired by the lightness of bicycle structures, Breuer used curved steel tubes to reinvent the idea of comfort and functionality in an armchair. Its minimalist and functional design embodies the essence of Bauhaus, the renowned school of design, art and architecture where Breuer studied and taught, valuing the harmony between form and function, without excess.
Originally upholstered in leather, over the years the Wassily Chair has gained versions in canvas, fabric and different types of leather, adapting to various aesthetic proposals. Its metal structure stands out in chrome, black, white or even gold finishes, making it versatile in different environments.
An interesting fact? The name “Wassily” was chosen because Breuer initially designed the chair for his friend and mentor, Wassily Kandinsky, who was enchanted by the model. Since then, the piece remains timeless, maintaining its relevance in contemporary interiors.
Even after almost a century, the Wassily continues to be current, being a striking presence in sophisticated and timeless interiors. A true example of how good design transcends time and trends.
