Marcel Breuer's B3 'Wassily' chair is an iconic piece of furniture design, created in the 1920s during Breuer's time at the Bauhaus School of Arts. Renowned for its innovative use of tubular steel inspired by the frame of a bicycle, the chair's minimalistic form embodies the Bauhaus philosophy of combining art, craft, and technology. With its sleek lines and heavily patinated canvas, the chair exudes modern sophistication, making it a timeless and sought-after piece. This particular example is considered a rare early edition, likely manufactured by Standard Möbel. The Wassily Chair remains a symbol of modernist innovation and is celebrated in contemporary design, with its presence in major museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
