Pair of B32 chairs
Marcel Breuer used steel to make the B32 chair , also known as the Wassily chair, employing a steel-bending technique to create the chair's shape. This technique involves twisting steel pipes to mold them into the desired form.
Breuer was inspired by steel bicycle frames and used this technique to create a lightweight and durable chair that could be produced at a reasonable cost. He was also influenced by the Bauhaus design movement, which valued simplicity and functionality and sought to use new materials and manufacturing techniques.
The B32 chair was first introduced in 1925 and has become one of the most famous and influential cantilever chairs in design history. It remains highly regarded today for its timeless design and durability.
