Pair of Wassily B3 armchairs by Marcel Breuer for Gavina, 1960s (designed in 1925). Originally called the B3 model, it was later renamed the "Wasily chair" by the painter Wassily Kandinsky, who greatly admired its innovative design. These iconic chairs feature an elegant, minimalist design, with a tubular steel frame and black leather seat, back and armrests. The use of tubular steel, a material that Breuer was inspired to explore after seeing the curved handlebars of his bicycle, not only gives the armchairs their distinctive look but also makes them lightweight and sturdy. The leather parts of the seat, backrest and armrests, which are stretched across the metal frame, provide both comfort and an elegant, modern look. Despite their minimalist approach, the chairs have a striking visual impact. The clean lines and geometric shape make them stand-out pieces in any setting. Our team examined the armchairs: despite six decades having passed, both remain in perfect original condition with very minor signs of wear, little patina and absolutely minimal cracks in the leather, which is normal for such old pieces. Beautifully preserved symbol of the modernist Bauhaus movement and testimony to innovative design. Gavina had some stickers, but they did not survive; what is significant for Gavina is the metal and leather workmanship, which here is totally authentic. Armrest height: 59 cm. Seat height: 42 cm.
