Following the success of his "Wassily" chair, Breuer continued to experiment with tubular steel furniture. He partnered with the German manufacturer Thonet, designing a number of chairs, stools, and ottomans made from this lightweight, traditionally industrial material. In the "B35" armchair, Breuer employed seemingly continuous steel runners as the chair's frame. The seat and back were upholstered in simple canvas, and the armrests padded with lacquered wood. Both the seat and armrests are dramatically cantilevered without vertical supports, emphasizing both the tensile strength and the slenderness of the tubular steel construction. Like Breuer's "Wassily" chair, the "B35" was not a direct product of the Bauhaus; it does, however, clearly conform to Bauhaus principles of design and construction, with its modern, stripped-down form made from industrial materials not typically used in furniture at this time.
Purchase with confidence. Our restoration team gave this set a full detailing, without removing any of the original patina. Both chairs are very sturdy and ready for many more decades of use. The chairs are in very good original condition. Light oxidization on chrome. Leather has scuffs minor age-appropriate imperfections. Chrome has been polished and leather has been conditioned. Leather straps underneath are adjustable and function properly. less
