Habitat Black Leather Wassily Chair / B3 Chair Designed By Marcel Breuer
£695.00
Description
Tubular chrome and black leather Wassily Chair / B3 Chair designed by Marcel Breuer and produced by Habitat and included in the 1986 Habitat catalogue.
Designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925–1926, the Wassily Chair stands as a timeless icon of modernist design. During the 1980s, the British retailer Habitat introduced their own adaptation of this classic, referred to as the “Medici chair.” This edition featured a sleek chrome tubular frame paired with stitched black leather for the seat, back, and armrests, offering a contemporary take on Breuer’s visionary creation.
The Habitat interpretation stayed true to the hallmark features of Breuer’s original design, showcasing tubular steel influenced by bicycle construction and embracing the clean, minimalist lines synonymous with the Bauhaus ethos. Unlike the original Wassily Chair, which featured Eisengarn fabric straps—an innovative waxed-cotton material – Habitat’s version introduced leather elements, creating a fresh and tactile twist on the iconic classic.
In fantastic vintage condition. No scratches or rips to leather. Very tiny scuff to the end one of the arms which can be seen in the photos.
Very desirable furniture to add a distinct mid century modern aesthetic to your home.
