These chairs produced by Knoll are replicas of the original of the iconic Wassily chair, also known as Model B3. The chairs were designed in 1925–1926 by Marcel Breuer while he was at the Bauhaus. Inspired by a bicycle frame and influenced by the Constructivist theories of De Stjil, Breuer reduced the classic club chair to its elementary lines and planes, forever changing the evolution of furniture design.
