Knoll Wassily Lounge Chair

Marcel Breuer was a student at the Bauhaus when he began experimenting with tubular steel as a way to build a more transparent chair. Inspired by the frame of a bicycle and influenced by the constructivist theories of the De Stjil movement, Breuer reduced the form of the classic club chair to its elementary lines and planes.
