An icon among armchairs, the Wassily B3 was designed by Marcel Breuer, a Hungarian-American architect. He found inspiration for it in his Adler bicycle, which was entirely made of round tubes. Impressed by the durability and lightness of the bicycle, he began to contemplate how to use such tubes in furniture. In 1925, he designed the B3 armchair, crafted from curved steel tubes and leather straps, creating a seat that is both ergonomic and comfortable, yet still minimalist. With its unique exposed structure, the armchair demonstrated how modern design could be applied to everyday objects. The B3 armchair was later renamed Wassily, after Breuer’s friend Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky, like Breuer, was a student and teacher at the Bauhaus and was highly enthusiastic about Breuer’s prototype, even receiving a handmade armchair himself.
Although the Wassily armchair is now Breuer’s most recognized design, he gained greater fame in his time with the B32 chairs, which are also icons in design. Breuer will be remembered in history as an inspiration to many modern designers striving to pursue his vision of minimalist and seemingly weightless furniture.
Breuer’s minimalism ensures that this armchair, despite its nearly 100-year history, remains timeless, as the Wassily B3 armchair is still extremely popular and, due to its timeless appearance, suitable for almost any style and space.
