Description
A rare pair of signed Marcel Breuer for Stendig pair of model B3 lounge chairs, also known as Wassily chairs. Originally designed for and named after Bauhaus artist Wassily Kandinsky circa 1926. Constructed of chromed tubular steel and stitched black saddle leather, these icons remain timeless in their styling and comfort. Notice the welded and polished caps at the ends of the front-to-back stretchers and inner pipe along bottom rails set with allen screws. Constructed in Europe and imported from Finland for Charles Stendig circa 1970s.
Provenance: From the estate of a Long Island architect whose home was likely furnished from the 60s through the 80s. Many excellent designer and decorative pieces throughout this time capsule come.
Condition: I have performed a light restoration on these chairs that includes and intensive polishing of the chrome frames by hand. Original leather has been cleaned and nourished with leather conditioner. Touch-ups with matching black paint to some worn areas. Leather is sturdy yet very comfortable and has tons of life left in it. You will love the functionality, comfort, and styling of these chairs! -
