A vintage Wassily chair, design by Marcel Breuer, produced by Fasem and executed in cognac leather with a polished tubular steel frame.
This example has a particularly warm presence due to the leather, which has developed an even, natural patina over time. The surface shows visible wear and tonal variation throughout, giving the chair the kind of depth and texture that newer examples often lack. The frame remains clean and well-balanced, with the crisp linear silhouette that defines Breuer’s original design.
What makes the Wassily enduring is its reduction: a chair stripped back to structure, line, and material. In this version, the contrast between the cool steel and the aged leather gives the piece a more relaxed and collected appearance, while still retaining its Bauhaus clarity.
A strong standalone piece for a living space, study, gallery-like interior, or collector’s setting
