AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Marcel Breuer - Knoll International - Armchair - Wassily Chair
- 1970-1979 - Chromed steel and black leather upholstery.

Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair marks a turning point in design history: for the first time bent steel was used to create a chair structure; this material with thick leather upholstery that completes the backrest and seat of the chair leads to the creation of a modern and current design object that remains relevant to this day.

The chair is in excellent condition, with slight signs of wear!
Original, the label is present (Knoll International) and the signature on the backrest (Marcel Breuer)!
Attention: This chair has a backrest strap mounted upside down, the one at the bottom! For some it may be a defect and for others an asset after more than 40 years! It could be rare!
Look at the images for a proper impression!
In excellent condition, beautiful patina of time.

Shipped insured and traceable!
