Description

A pair of vintage lounge chairs in chromed tubular steel with black leather sling seats and backs, designed in the manner of the iconic Marcel Breuer “Wassily” chair (Model B3). The chairs feature a continuous tubular chrome frame supporting tensioned leather panels forming the seat, back, and armrests.

The design reflects the Bauhaus aesthetic of functional clarity and industrial materials, with clean lines and an open, architectural profile. These examples are unmarked, and therefore offered in the style of Breuer’s original design.
The leather shows visible wear consistent with age and use, contributing to a softened, vintage character.
