This 1960s Wassily Chair is an original by Gavina and thus one of the early Italian versions of the design Marcel Breuer presented at the Bauhaus in 1925. The frame is made of chrome-plated steel tube in wide, clearly drawn arcs that carry the seat, back, armrests and neck strap. The chair is upholstered in lacquered leather in light beige, which has taken on a matte, slightly creamy tone over the years and shows the grain of genuine saddle leather at the edges. Because the leather works as a stretched band rather than as padding, this Bauhaus armchair seats you with a spring and a clearly defined back support. In the living room the Wassily Chair sets an open accent that does not crowd the space visually, and it suits a solid sofa as well as a sparsely furnished study. Versions by Gavina can be recognised by the frame and the leather cut, and are far more sought after among collectors than later series.

At Zeitwerk Home, we prioritise sustainability by applying traditional techniques and using natural materials, oils and resins. We pay particular attention to the environmental friendliness of our work, ensuring that no harmful substances are used. However, the most important aspect of our philosophy is that nothing is more sustainable than an object that lasts a lifetime. Our furniture is carefully restored and processed so that it endures for generations. With today’s booming throwaway mentality, we want nothing to do with it.

Whether modification or Newly Made – we are happy to adapt this piece of furniture entirely to your wishes for an additional fee. We can modify the product shown in terms of colour, dimensions or details, as well as implement a bespoke Newly Made version based on this design. Contact us for your individual requests, preferably directly via the chat at the bottom right.
