Marcel Breuer - Gavina - Armchair - Wassily Chair

In 1962, Dino Gavina met Marcel Breuer in New York and convinced him to reissue and produce his 1920s designs again. After the sale of Gavina to the American company Knoll in 1968, and the closure of the Bologna-based brand, several products from the Gavina collection were sold under the Knoll brand name. This piece from the period is in black leather and comes, along with the others, from the managerial officers of a Turin credit institute. The armchair has been used very little and is in exceptional condition of use. The leather is still perfectly taut and has very tiny signs of age-related wear. The same goes for the chrome-plated parts, which are in very good condition. The frame has been polished and the leather cleaned and treated with leather care products. The Marcel Breuer brand is embossed on the back of the armchair as well as the Gavina label. Dimensions: H 72 x W 79 x D 72 cm. 'Design Radicale' offers free transport insurance for deliveries in Europe. For shipping to the rest of the world, the cost is approximate. We will provide a quote when the auction is finished, depending on the destination. (2)
