Vitra - Miniature B3 Wassily

Vitra Miniatures B3 Wassily.

Exact replicas of the originals in both material and design, these pieces of furniture are true little works of art.

Everything is scrupulously respected in the manufacture of these replicas: the structure, the materials and the colors are identical to the original work. Originally conceived from a purely educational perspective, the concept gradually turned into collectibles.

The big names in design appear in this Vitra collection, such as Breuer, Thornet, Mies Van der Rohe, Eames, Vermer Panton, Saarinen.

The B3 Wassily, also known as the B3 chair, is a design from 1925 by Marcel Breuer. Initially it was designed for the new Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany.

The B3 Wassily is designed in the typical Bauhaus style. The chair is made of bent nickel-plated steel tubes and saddle leather, a material that was not used in the furniture industry before that time.

Material: Miniature chair made of leather/tubes. Comes in a beautiful gift box from the Vitra Design Museum.

Dimensions: Height: 12.5 cm x Width: 12.5 cm x Depth: 11.5 cm Scale ratio 1:6.

About the designer:

Marcel Adios Breuer (May 1902 – July 1981) was a Hungarian-born modernist architect and furniture designer. At the age of 18, he was one of the first and youngest students at the Bauhaus, a radical arts and crafts school. He designed the iconic Wassily chair, named after his friend, the artist Wassily Kandinsky. Breuer's work includes art museums, libraries, university buildings, office buildings and homes.
