Originally designed in the 1920’s, the Wassily chair has a charming back story. The given name for this chair was Model B3, however, the artist Wassily Kandinsky admired it and accordingly one was manufactured for his office; after this is when it was given the moniker used today. It is a daring reinterpretation of a club chair, yet for all its intentional cut outs and straps, it remains just as comfortable. Notice the front seat strap that sits at an incline, this adds just that extra bit of support under your knees for the feeling of absolute relaxation. Manufactured with tubular steel and chrome finish, this stylish chair will remain a relevant classic. These chairs can be grouped in a conversation area in your living room just as easily as the foyer to your uptown office suite. Upholstered in white or black leather, the Wassily Chair will fit into any décor, and will look just as sleek no matter how often you change the room around them. Marcel Breuer designed the Wassily chair in honor of his colleague, the father of abstract painting, Wassily Kandinsky.

In the spirit of abstraction, the Wassily Chair reduced the forms of a traditional club chair to its simplest contours, represented by a seamless steel tubing (inspired by the handlebars of a bicycle. The surfaces of a traditional club chair (seat, back and armrests) were also abstracted and represented by thick and sleek leather slings. This high quality reproduction is made of high-quality materials, while staying true to the original. The Alfred chair is a high quality versions of the Wassily Chair that offers stylish beautiful lines and will bring a modern look to your home or office!
