Mid century black B3 WASSILY Bauhaus Lounge armchair by Marcel Brauer 1980s Italy
A striking example of Bauhaus modernism: this iconic Wassily B3 lounge chair, originally designed by Marcel Breuer, produced in Italy in the 1980s. Considered one of the most groundbreaking designs of the 20th century, the Wassily chair remains a timeless symbol of architectural furniture design.
This model features the classic tubular chrome-plated steel frame paired with high-quality genuine black leather straps forming the seat, armrests, and backrest. The clean lines and open structure make this piece visually light yet sculptural — stunning from every angle.
Breuer’s B3 design marked a revolution in furniture history, being the first chair constructed entirely from bent tubular steel, inspired by the handlebars of a bicycle.
The chair remains in excellent original vintage condition with minor, age-appropriate signs of wear. The leather has developed a beautiful natural patina, contributing to the chair’s authenticity and character.
