Wassily Chair by Marcel Breuer 3D model

The Wassily Chair, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925, is a landmark of modern furniture design. Inspired by the streamlined aesthetic of bicycles, it features a tubular steel frame and taut leather or canvas seating. Created during Breuer’s time at the Bauhaus, the chair embodies the school's principles of functional design, industrial materials, and minimalist form.

The model is a high-poly model designed with CAD, so the measurements precisely fit the original chair. The leather straps have been carefully adjusted by hand to mimick the deformation caused by the weight of a person sitting. Metal frame has been carefully adjusted to emulate how the real metal frame after fabrication would look like (e.g. slightly squashed on the elbow of the pipes caused by the bending process.) And many more details.

I've used this model myself for architectural vizualizations. Due to being modelled even to the last detail, it is perfect for close-up shots where you can see the material and the structure more closely.

This model was made in Blender. The original blender file has the node materials you see on the images.
