Wassily Chair (Mod. B3) – designed by Marcel Breuer for Gavina

An absolute icon of 20th-century modern design, the Wassily Chair (Model B3) was created in 1925 from the revolutionary vision of Marcel Breuer, one of the masters of the Bauhaus. In this refined version, the classic balance between structure and lightness is expressed through the contrast between chromed tubular steel and white leather upholstery.

Design

The Wassily is considered one of the first chairs in history to reinterpret the concept of a chair through the use of tubular steel, transforming a structural element into an aesthetic statement.

Its essential and geometric design fully expresses the modernist philosophy: reduction to the essential, functionality, and formal clarity. The white leather upholstery further enhances the purity of the design, lending brightness and a more contemporary presence compared to the classic version.
