 Pair Marcel Breuer Wassily Chairs (Bauhaus) 

                                          

Pair Marcel Breuer Wassily Chairs  (Bauhaus)
                                                        Additional Pictures of this item


Pair Matching Wassily Chairs: Marcel Breuer  

A modern Icon, the Wassily Chair is a symbol of the industrial heroism and engineering invention of the early 20th century. Chrome plated tubular steel frame. Seat back and armrests made of full grain leather straps. Made in Italy.

The Wassily Chair, also known as the Model B3 chair, was designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925-1926 while he was the head of the cabinet-making workshop at the Bauhaus, in Dessau, Germany

The Wassily Chair is probably the best known Bauhaus design and the first armchair ever made of steel. The legend says it was made for the living room of Wassily Kandinsky's house while he was a teacher at the Bauhaus.  It marked the beginning of a new era in modern furniture with a design that maintains a progressive look even today.

Breuer found his inspiration for the chair in the bent form of a bicycle handlebar, available for the first time in steel due to a development in technology.  The German steel manufacturer Mannesmann had developed a process to produce seamless steel tubing, the first to allow tubes to be bent without breaking at the seam.  Breuer’s Adler bicycle featured such tubing, which inspired the designer to employ this material in furniture.

Marcel Breuer is considered one of the fathers of Modernism.
Measures: 30 1/2" wide x 29 1/4" high x 27" deep

Mid Century Modern Set 4 Jens Risom Woven Dining Chairs
                                   Additional Pictures of this item
. Four Woven Fiber Upholstered Wooden Dining Chairs, attributed to Jens Risom, unmarked, (some fiber breaks )

Jens Risom is a Scandinavian designer who emigrated from Europe to the U.S. in 1939 when he was just 23 years of age. In 1941 he designed the first chair manufactured by Knoll. Risom continued to create simple, well-crafted modern furniture with Knoll and George Jensen, but established his own design studio, Jens Risom Design, in 1946. In the 1970's, he acted as a trustee of the Rhode Island School of design. Now in his eighties, Jens Risom continues to be active and his work continues to reflect the Danish approach to modernism, with its emphasis on traditional values and the human need for warmth, beauty and simplicity. Modern American design owes much to his unfailing sense of proportion, commitment to practicality and insight into the forms of modern living.

Provenance: Estate of Richard Filipowski (1923-2008), a sculptor of international repute who taught visual design at the School of Architecture, MIT.

Measures: 18 1/2" wide x 20" deep x 35" high.
