Marcel Breuer Wassily Chair by Find Me The Original

[@ramblingreaser]

The Knoll version is NOT the only version to be authorized, there were several export companies that were authorized to build and export these chairs until Knoll became the exclusive distributor. Currently they are exclusive but a lot of collectors and dealers make the mistake of thinking that Knoll's are original so please stop perpetuating this myth! If you find an early Stendig chair, it is worth more money than a Knoll, and in fact the Wassily chair in the MoMa is a Stendig, not Knoll.

So what r the hallmarks of the Stendig chair?

I have an early standing chair original. Do you know how much it is worth? I have had it for 35 years and looking to sell

The family traditional story was that Lajos was on the way somewhere (I think to the Bauhaus),when he had a bike tumble and when he got up,realized how strong the handle bars of his bike were.Giving him the idea to use it as the material for the chair.He was a wonderful man, a great chess player and my Uncle.Its such a perfect story I asked my aunt Connie a few months before her passing if it was really true. The best real stories are always to good to be true.It seems this one is !Yours Guy

Does Knoll use caps on the ends of the tubes now? What a shame... Back in the early days, metal caps on the ends of the tubes were a sign of a knock off. Originally the tubes were welded closed and then they would grind and polish them before plating. Now I wish I still had my originals!

[@guywolff]

@Thepinup1 Yes Lajos was my mother's sister's huband and I did grow up with him.. All the best , Guy

I wish this channel wasn't dead, but I dread their treatment of furniture replicas. I own a couple from Barcelona Designs and they are of very good quality.

@guywolff so your uncle was not Marcel Lajos Breuer, or he was, 1902-1981, born in Pecs!!! If you are a relative of his and actually know the man himself i would love to hear from you as he is a big part of my current uni project and im sure my history and theory lecturer would love to have you over for a talk on him

Hello, I bought a Wassily from a private seller around 2 months ago. He claims it is an authentic Knoll piece and that he had bought it in Cologne at an authorized Knoll dealer about 10 years ago. What wonders me is that the chair does, in fact, have the correct dimensions, signature stamped into the leather, welded ends and everything. However, it is missing the Knoll Studio stamp on the base. I understand that there have been Wassily chairs being sold at Knoll retailers in Germany, but is ther

Hello, i bought 2 chairs as "original" in 1990. But on the rack I can not have an ID no. or anything at signature. So nothing. The leather is black and it comes out bright brown at the wear spots, is that normal? Do I have a fake?

[@jamesdiydesigns2256]

I really wish I owned one of these chairs. But I'm currently lacking the budget for it. However, if anyone wants to ever get a good one, Barcelona Designs is my suggestion (for a store that sells furniture replicas they're pretty good).

does anyone realize the link is a Chinese "website". I was hoping to buy one of these chairs.

[@mariajosecastroanaya961]

Anyone know the thickness of the tube?

[@lauriealessi1903]

I have two brown chairs that meet the original standards except that they are brown. Wonder how I find out if they are original? LA

Laurie Alessi some had the tan colored versions dyed dark brown.
