The surfaces of a traditional club chair (seat, back and armrests) were abstracted and represented by thick and sleek leather slings. For those who enjoy minimalist d?r and a strong urban style, the wassily chair selections offer upscale, trendy appeal. The gleaming chrome-finished tubular steel frame-inspired by the graceful, curving handlebars of the Adler bicycle-is seamless in its assemblage. Despite popular belief, the chair was apparently not designed for the non-objective painter Wassily Kandinsky, who was concurrently on the Bauhaus faculty where the creator Marcel Breuer worked. However, Kandinsky had admired the completed design, and Breuer fabricated a duplicate for Kandinsky’s personal quarters.
