Marcel Breuer was one of the key architects and designers of the 20th Century and one of the most influential exponents of modernist design having both studied and taught at the Bauhaus school of design. He is credited with creating the first chrome tube chair, The Wassily Chair, in 1925 using the new manufacturing techniques and materials available at the time. From there he specialized in his now famous range of cantilever chair designs which have become icons of 20th Century design.

The B35 is one such chair that uses a combination of bent beech wood and saddle leather set within a cantilever tubular chrome frame to create a chair with an outstanding aesthetic and that is also supremely comfortable. This comfort is increased with the use of the matching footstool. Originally designed in 1928 this set was produced by Thonet, who were the original producer of the chair, probably in the 1980’s and each piece is labelled accordingly as shown.

The set is presented in very good vintage condition with marks and patina to the leather along with a little fading, as shown, here and there commensurate with age that actually adds to the overall appeal. The chrome and wooden elements are also in very good condition with no major marks, or rust pitting to speak of.

All in all a beautiful and iconic set that would be equally at home in a reception room, living room, conservatory or bedroom setting.

20th Century Design Soft Furnishings Policy

The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended in 1989 and 1993) state that all soft furnishings holding foam must conform to BS5852 standards. This means that any post-1988 furniture will need to bear a fire label for auction and 2nd hand sale purposes.

The following exceptions apply:
• Items constructed pre-1950 [Regulation 4(a)]
• Items being sold to someone who is in the business of reupholstering furniture [See Regulation 4[b] and Consumer Protection Act 1987, s.46(7)]
• Items being sold to someone who is in the business of dealing in
furniture [Regulation 14(1)]
• Items being sold that will not be used in a domestic setting in the UK e.g. for export, for use in a museum or theatre, as a work of art [Regulation 3(1a) and 4(c)]

Soft furnishings for sale on this website are therefore sold as collector’s items and are not intended for private use – and in buying any item from this website you understand this. Further you accept all risks and liabilities that may arise from your purchase. They may not be in compliance with the Furniture & Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) Regulations 1988 and should be re-upholstered to conform to BS 5852 prior to any use in a domestic dwelling. Your purchase will therefore only be accepted on the agreement that the furnishings will not be used in a domestic dwelling.

The Mid-Century and 20th Century period has been recognised as eras of increased interest to collectors for many years now. On this basis the relevant soft furnishings on our website have been carefully selected to be collector’s pieces which are purchased for their design qualities and should be stored in such a way as to reflect this.
