While teaching at the Bauhaus, Breuer often rode a bicycle, a pastime that led him to what is perhaps the single most important innovation in furniture design in the twentieth century: the use of tubular steel. The tubular steel of his bicycle's handlebars was strong and lightweight, and lent itself to mass-production. Breuer reasoned that if it could be bent into handlebars, it could be bent into furniture forms.
The model for this chair is the traditional overstuffed club chair; yet all that remains is its mere outline, an elegant composition traced in gleaming steel. The canvas seat, back, and arms seem to float in space. The body of the sitter does not touch the steel framework. Breuer spoke of the chair as "my most extreme work . . . the least artistic, the most logical, the least 'cozy' and the most mechanical." What he might have added is that it was also his most influential work. An earlier version of this chair was designed by Breuer in 1925, and within a year, designers everywhere were experimenting with tubular steel, which would take furniture into a radically new direction. The chair became known as the "Wassily" after the painter Kandinsky, Breuer's friend and fellow Bauhaus instructor, who praised the design when it was first produced. from The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA Highlights, New York: The Museum of Modern Art, revised 2004, originally published 1999, p. 128 Licensing of MoMA images and videos is handled by Art Resource (North America) and Scala Archives (all other geographic locations).

Handsome and commanding, the wingback chair is no delicate creature. Designers Michelle Nussbaumer and Philip Nimmo cozy up to new versions of this classic form, ideal for today. MN: This has a clubby elegance. While it's a fairly classic wing chair, it's been given some modern twists, like the squared-off wings. It has a good scale, and it's sculptural. I would use it for younger clients. PN: The shiny silver nailheads and the intense blue of the velvet give this a glam quality. It's got some nice geometry to it and a beautiful profile. 32" w. x 37" d. x 45" h.; PN: A lovely design that feels sort of 1960s French. I like how they relieved the harshness of the metal with leather over the arms. And while it's not intended for outdoors, it would be terrific on a porch. MN: If Hermès met Brown Jordan, this would be their baby.
The open silhouette is striking, and the leather is good and thick. It could even make a great desk chair.24" w. x 25.5" d. x 46" h.; MN: It seems modern, yet it has a slipcover. Slipcovers are great for people with children or dogs, and there's something about a wing chair that personifies a person with dogs. Everyone will like this chair. PN: It's a comfortable and effortless chair that would be great in a country home or beach house. It's not threatening, and it is well made and can go almost anywhere.31.5" w. x 34" d. x 37" h.; Geometric cut outs in the arms create an interesting silhouette. The metal base gives it a contemporary look—especially paired with that red. PN: I love this little guy. It's small for a wingback, but I'm six foot one and find it surprisingly comfortable. It could get lost in a large room, but it would make a great dressing-table chair or bathroom chair. The leather will age beautifully. MN: With its cutout arms, inset cushion, and turned-out legs, it reminds me of a 1940s Maxime Old design.
It's perfectly sized for a New York apartment and would work well in a pair.23" w. x 29" d. x 35" h.; MN: This one has so much pow, you know? It's curvaceous and commanding. Definitely a stand-alone—if you had a pair, it would lose its impact. PN: This is probably my favorite. It's almost a piece of sculpture. And I like the scale and the buttoning. It's also truly transitional—you could easily incorporate it into a room filled with period pieces or more contemporary ones. MN: And I love the red!29" w. x 30" d. x 44" h.; PN: This is a well-executed midcentury Scandinavian-style wing chair. It's handsome from every angle, and the framework and detail work are beautiful. MN: Yes, it's very pretty, and I love the framework of the back. Plus, the price is reasonable. If you cover this in a Josef Frank fabric or a gorgeous mohair, it's going to look like something really special. This would add a wow moment to a room.32.5" w. x 35.5" d. x 41" h.; The unexpected addition of casual, familiar Windsor-style legs makes this chair easy to introduce in a country house or other informal, traditional space.
PN: What a nice design for an introductory piece. With its clean lines and low profile, it's like the wingback brother of a slipper chair. It's well scaled and versatile. You could easily throw a slipcover on it, too. MN: It doesn't have the dramatic impact of some of the others, but for the price, you can't go wrong. The fabric is velour polyester, yet it's surprisingly soft. 30" w. x 34" d. x 35" h.; PN: A great-looking chair. I see it in a minimal, white space. It's a splurge, but the craftsmanship is sublime. And the fact that it swivels—that's sweet. MN: Its back is as pretty as its front, and I like the combination of gray oak and leather. My younger clients look for pieces that are going to be important someday, and I think this could be one.42" w. x 33" d. x 41.5" h.; MN: Leather treated to look old can be corny, but they pulled it off. I think it's fun in this taxicab yellow. It's very traditional, so I would take it even further, in an English mod direction, with a steel dining table, crazy wall paper, and modern fixtures.
