Basic information
Wassily Lounge Chair Knoll
Designed by Marcel Breuer, 1925.
In 1925, Marcel Breuer was an apprentice at the Bauhaus when he reduced the classic club chair to its elemental lines and forever altered the future of furniture design. The iconic Wassily Chair is constructed of leather or canvas straps stretched across a tubular steel frame—originally inspired by the bends in a bicycle frame. It was the first chair of its kind in 1925, and it remains a celebrated symbol of modernism today.
