Description: These chairs were purchased directly from Knoll International in Soho a few years ago for an art dealer's showroom on the Upper East Side. They were barely used, serving primarily as display pieces in the showroom. The dealer, based in Greenwich, CT, is now in his 90s and has retired, no longer needing these iconic pieces. The listing is for one chair. An original Marcel Breuer design, this Wassily Chair features the Knoll logo and designer signature stamped on the frame, ensuring lifetime authentication and provenance. Marcel Breuer on Wassily Chair Design:In 1925, Marcel Breuer, then an apprentice at the Bauhaus, redefined the traditional club chair by reducing it to its essential lines. Inspired by the tubular steel used in bicycle frames, he realized its potential for creating lightweight, sturdy, and malleable furniture. “I was very much engaged in the transparency of the form,” Breuer said. An early prototype of the chair captivated his colleague, Wassily Kandinsky, after whom the chair is now named.
