A striking pair of vintage Wassily B3 style club armchairs — one of the most iconic and influential furniture designs of the 20th century, after the original by Marcel Breuer (1902–1981). Featuring the design's signature seamless tubular polished chrome frame and tan leather belting strips, these chairs bring the Bauhaus spirit directly into any modern interior.

The Wassily chair — named after Breuer's friend and Bauhaus colleague Wassily Kandinsky — was revolutionary when it first appeared in 1925, inspired by the clean lines of a bicycle frame and influenced by the De Stijl movement of the Netherlands. It remains one of the most recognized and reproduced chair designs in history, and pairs of this quality are perennially sought after by collectors and interior designers alike.
