Marcel Breuer designed it in the mid-1920s at the Bauhaus in Dessau. with it, he was one of the first to introduce bent tubular steel into the home. The chair owes its name to the painter Wassily Kandinsky, Breuer's colleague at the Bauhaus. The design consistently follows the credo "form follows function": A delicate frame made of chromed tubular steel forms the structure, and stretched strips of black leather cover the seat, back, and armrests. The result appears almost transparent, as if the chair consisted only of lines, yet remains surprisingly comfortable. To this day, the Wassily Chair is a statement piece that shapes both modern and classic interiors. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
