    I'm doing a research for a university assignment on history of design and came across your video. Very informative, on point and the background images makes for a very entertaining experience! Greetings from Brasil. :)

    Really enjoyed your presentation. I own two chairs myself. They are being repaired for material upgrade and can't wait to get them back. Thank you! for the background info. Dev Glover, Atlanta, Ga, United States

    Nice job. Sitting in one as I write this. I bought mine at a thrift shop for $20, 25 years ago.

    You said 'thirty-three' perfectly, lol. Thanks for exposé on the Wassily chair. I enjoyed it. Breuer was very gifted!

    I'm not a fan of the dispropotionate amount of attention this chair gets in comparison with other clasic pieces of furniture, but this video was really informative and easy to watch; thanks a lot :)

      Agree, it's an interesting chair but a bit too hyped today. It can bee see literally everywhere!

    such a great story, thank you for creating! would you mind commenting on the source for the info about Lucia Maholy submitting the photo in the newspaper? I would like to add this info to a project I am doing on the Wassily Chair but need to cite my sources (can't find anything on the internet when I look myself). Thank you!

      Thank's, glad you found the video interesting! The info on Maholy was found in the book 'Marcel Breuer - furniture and interiors' written by Christopher Wilk in 1981.

    I love the chair, but it takes up a lot of space.

  • @agomodern

    But not very comfortable. Like most such modern design, it's more a work of art than it is something to be used for normal everyday use.

    • @ScandinavianDesign101
      @ScandinavianDesign101  3 роки тому +1

      Yeah, that’s true. Sculptural and spectacular but hardly cozy. But the Wassily is fairly comfortable compared to similar chairs.

      totally disagree. it's my go-to reading chair. nothing beats the bed but as fair chairs go, it's a super comfy one considering the unique design.
