For sale is an iconic, highly collectible Model B3 Wassily lounge chair designed by Marcel Breuer and manufactured in Italy by Gavina SpA circa 1962-1968. This rare pre-1969 production piece features its original, thick cowhide belting leather slings in a sought-after rich cognac brown color. Authenticity is verified by the original manufacturer's Gavina sticker still attached to the tubular steel frame. The frame features the signature smooth, welded, and flush-polished tube ends characteristic of early Italian production.

Condition: Good vintage condition with a beautiful, authentic patina. The cognac leather remains strong and structurally sound, showing light surface scratches consistent with age. The chrome-plated tubular steel frame is bright and glossy, with minor dots of surface oxidation on the lower bars as expected on a 60-year-old mid-century icon. A stunning, investment-grade piece of Bauhaus design history.
