The Knoll Wassily Lounge Chair by Marcel Breuer is a landmark of Bauhaus design, first conceived in 1925 while Breuer was working at the Bauhaus in Germany.
Inspired by the construction of a bicycle frame, its innovative use of tubular steel challenged traditional ideas of how an armchair should look and be made. The polished chrome-plated steel frame forms a series of precise geometric lines, supporting broad black cowhide leather slings for the seat, back and arms. This combination of industrial structure and supple leather gives the chair its distinctive open appearance, with each element contributing to both its comfort and visual character.
An authentic Knoll original, the Wassily Chair remains a striking addition to a living room, study or design-led workspace. The black leather and reflective steel create a strong contrast that works particularly well alongside natural materials and understated interiors. Other leather options are available on request.
Materials:Frame - Seamless tubular Steel with a polished chrome finish. Thick cowhide slings in black. Four plastic glides snap into pre-drilled holes on base of the chair.
