Description
This armchair channels the essence of Marcel Breuer's renowned Wassily chair. Crafted in Italy and purchased in the 1960s, it boasts a sleek, bent chromed steel tubular frame that exudes modern sophistication. The chair is upholstered in high-quality, cognac-colored leather hide, meticulously stitched to perfection. This piece is marked with its Italian origin, a testament to its superior craftsmanship.
*Please Note: Crafted from cognac-colored Italian cowhide, this leather features a rich pigmentation and skilled saddle stitching. It remains in superb condition. It's worth noting that not all early versions of these chairs were marked or embossed.
History:
Stendig was the pioneer importer of Wassily and Cesca chairs, along with several Breuer tables, during their revival in the early 1960s. This chair not only represents a piece of design history but also showcases the impeccable craftsmanship and innovative spirit of that era.

- Quality Materials: Rich cognac-colored leather and durable chrome ensure longevity and classic appeal.
- Comfort and Style: Ergonomically designed for comfort while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.
