Marcel Breuer Wassily™ Chair

Designed by Marcel Breuer


In 1925, Marcel Breuer was a 23-year-old Bauhaus apprentice who had just learned to ride a bicycle. The handlebars of an Adler bicycle — bent to serve a structural purpose without any additional weight — gave him the idea for what would become the world's first tubular steel chair. He kept the experiments secret until the day Wassily Kandinsky — the father of abstract painting and Breuer's colleague at the Bauhaus — came by chance to Breuer's studio and saw the first chair. Kandinsky was fascinated.

Communicates design intelligence and structural clarity in executive workspaces.

Hotel Lobbies

A highly durable, photogenic material profile for premium commercial interiors.

Design Collections

Historically significant choice for museums, galleries, and cultural centers.

The Wassily provides an extraordinary sense of suspended seating. Instead of conventional padding, the user is held within a architectural steel frame solely by tensioned leather planes. It remains a club chair stripped down to its absolute, elemental lines and geometric planes.

Care Instructions

Chrome: Wipe with a clean, slightly damp soft cloth. Wipe dry immediately. Do not use abrasives or solvent cleaners.

Leather Slings: Dust with a dry cloth. Use dedicated leather cleaners gently without aggressive rubbing. Condition periodically to prevent cracking. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent drying or fading.

Authenticity & Sustainability

Every Wassily chair is manufactured by Knoll in Italy and carries the stamped signature, logo, and a unique individual serial tracking number. GREENGUARD certified. Part of the ISO 14001 MillerKnoll collective.

—— QUESTIONS

Everything you might ask before buying.

Wassily™ Chair: 31"W × 27"D × 28.75"H; seat height 16.5"; seat depth 16.5"; arm height 23". Weight: 25 lb (11.3 kg). Comes fully assembled.

The Wassily Chair's seat, back, and both armrests are formed by leather strips stretched taut across the tubular steel frame — not padded cushions. The slings are held in tension by the frame and by the sitter's weight. They provide a firm, flat seating surface and will maintain their crisp tautness for decades. Three leather grades are available: Spinneybeck Belting Leather (27 colourways), Spinneybeck Thick Cowhide (black, light brown, white beige), and Spinneybeck Haired Hide (natural markings, multiple colourways). Contact our team to specify.

Every authentic Knoll Wassily Chair is stamped in the base of the frame with three marks: the KnollStudio logo, Marcel Breuer's signature, and an individual identification number unique to that specific chair. All three must be present. If the chair does not carry all three marks, it is not an authentic Knoll product.

The Wassily Chair provides a distinctive, immersive sitting experience that is different from conventionally padded lounge chairs. The leather slings are taut and firm — the seat is not cushioned. At 16.5"H the sitting position is low and settled. The chair is intended for reading, conversation, or contemplative use — not for upright desk or task seating. Many people find it extremely comfortable; the taut leather gives enough to the body without the enveloping softness of foam-cushioned chairs.

Belting Leather (Spinneybeck) is a vegetable-tanned, aniline- dyed premium leather originally developed for industrial machinery belts; tight grain, light finish coat, edges dyed to match — it is the most colour-varied option. Thick Cowhide is a premium cowhide with a smooth, dense surface, available in three neutral colours. Haired Hide is natural cowhide with visible natural markings — every sling is unique; it is the most material-led and expressive option. Contact our team to discuss and request samples.

Yes — the Wassily Chair Canvas (listed separately) has the same tubular steel frame and the same dimensions, but with natural cotton canvas slings in place of leather. The Gold version has the same dimensions with an 18K gold-plated frame. All three are the same chair.
