(2) B3 Wassily Lounge Chairs
B3 Wassily chairs in original vegetable-dyed saddle leather upholstery. Two available, sold individually. Designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925, the Wassily chair has become a household name in furniture history for good reason. Stainless steel frame with welded end caps, and accurate hardware for the manufacturing era.
ORIGIN: Made in Italy, an example preceding the Knoll manufacturing era. Without Gavina stickers, we are confident this is an early mid-century example, potentially imported by Stendig to North America. The original owner had this piece for several decades, pre 1970's, and purchased it from an authorized importer.
In excellent vintage condition. The leather is sturdy and not stretched, with signs of wear throughout, as pictured on the surface of the leather. The patina is the best part, in our opinion. You cannot recreate decades of natural wear to veg-tan leather, there is nothing like it.
