Marcel Breuer Chair – The Wasilly Chair


I was in IKEA recently (yes, the second time in 2 weeks..) looking for a new desk chair amoungst other things (bookshelf, desk lamp, bath mat, you know, the usual)

I’d just sat on my what felt like 20th chair.. testing for back support, neck support, tilt, rotation, etc.. there’s a lot to think about when it comes to buying a chair.

It got me thinking of the thousands of differnet chairs out there and, perhaps a few blog posts on the more famous out there would make for good reading..

So, first under the microscop is, the Wassily Chair (Or model B3)

07373002

by designer Marcel Breuer —

“my most extreme work . . . the least artistic, the most logical, the least ‘cozy’ and the most mechanical.”

The chair was designed between 1925 and 1926 whilst Breuer was working as the head of a cabinet-making workshop (yeah I don’t get it either..) at the Bahaus.

Breuer worked as an architect, teacher and furniture designer, though it is certainly safe to say that it is the model B3 that he is referenced to, despite a number of famous works.

Although not made specifically for the painter, Wassily Kandinsky (one of my favourite painters, he even did my desktop background for me..) a replica was created for his private quarters and the chair was then coined the “wassily chair.”

The inspiration behind the lightweight steel tubing?
Well, Breuer was apparently an avid biker, he would ride his bicycle daily; noticing the strong, but lightweight handlebars and frame of his bike.

If it could make for good handlebars, then why not furniture?

The frame of the chair is in fact the same as say a stuffed club armchair but instead, has been stripped to it’s simple frame and draped together with simple black leather. Against the gleaming steel tubing it represents much of the modernist movement.

Like everything, the chair gone through, sadly, a mass reproduce — every man and his dog is now making a Wasilly chair.

Want one?
Try here… there is a Wassilly chair for every budget.

A whole research article could be devoted to “choosing the right Wassilly chair for you”

The chair is now part of the permanent collection at the MOMA.

  24. I’m impressed, I have to say. Actually not often do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have got hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the problem is one thing that not sufficient individuals are talking intelligently about. I’m very glad that I stumbled across this in my search for one thing referring to this.

  25. Picking out the very best lifetime settlement vendors
    is not that tough if you know what to search for. The issue is that really couple people today essentially know
    what they are seeking for when it comes to life settlements and that is wherever
    the issues arise. Fortuitously, getting an fantastic supplier for daily life insurance coverage settlements is no trouble at all the moment you are aware of
    what to glance for.

    To start with of all, you need to have to know what a everyday living settlement company is and how they function. Basically, providers of lifetime settlements are the people today or organizations that order
    the everyday living insurance policies policy from a policyowners and
    they will shell out the policy owner a sum of hard cash that is more
    substantial than the income surrender benefit from the insurance organization. The industry’s top
    vendors buy numerous guidelines just about
    every year and they maintain the policy as an asset until finally death takes place and the plan is cashed out.
    These providers are skilled and knowledgeable in the valuation as nicely as
    the assessment of procedures with significant facial area benefit amounts and there are full departments inside
    the corporation to review the transaction and make sure that
    all goes nicely. Heading with a everyday living settlement service provider that is a organization fairly
    than an individual is a much better idea mainly because
    there is far more safety and money are backed by
    an establishment fairly than just an person.

    Maintain in brain that when searching for a supplier it is critical
    to check with if they are accredited to operate in the similar point out where by the plan proprietor lives.

    There are a lot more than 35 states that have restrictions relating
    to the sale of daily life coverage procedures so make confident you
    are mindful of what these are and that you are subsequent them.

    If you will not know how to go about getting a lifetime insurance policies company then you may opt for to use a daily life
    insurance policy broker. Brokers basically choose your plan and
    present it to a wide variety of providers to
    test and uncover the finest give. This implies that you may well get a much better offer you than if you merely went with the
    provide of one particular supplier so it is worthwhile for many
    to fork out for the providers of a broker.
    The broker also helps the plan owner in examining
    the general supply which include the funding resource and its balance,
    give selling price, provisions of privacy,
    as effectively as other folks. A broker is up to the coverage owner, but a lot of situations it is truly worth it.
