Pair Marcel Breuer B33 Cantilever Chrome Canvas Chairs for Knoll, USA 1992

By Knoll, Marcel Breuer

Located in Los Angeles, CA

Pair of B33 cantilever chairs designed by Marcel Breuer, featuring polished chrome-plated tubular steel frames with natural canvas seats and backrests. One chair retains its Knoll International label dated 1992. Originally designed by Breuer in the late 1920s, the B33 is an important example of Bauhaus and International Style furniture design, reflecting the period's experimentation with tubular steel and the elimination of conventional rear chair legs. The continuous cantilevered frame creates a remarkably light architectural profile while providing the subtle flexibility characteristic of this type of construction. The natural canvas upholstery provides a warm contrast to the polished chrome frames. Particularly distinctive are the backs, where the canvas panels are secured with exposed corset-style lacing, emphasizing the functional construction of the chairs. Breuer's tubular steel furniture helped define the vocabulary of early European Modernism, and the B33 shares its design lineage with the cantilever furniture of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Mart Stam, as well as Modernist works by Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand. The clean geometry makes the pair equally appropriate for Bauhaus, Mid-Century Modern, International Style, minimalist, contemporary, and industrial interiors. The chairs retain their vintage canvas upholstery, which shows discoloration, staining, marks, and wear from age and use. The chrome-plated tubular steel frames show scratches, oxidation, finish losses, and other age-related wear. Please refer to the detailed photographs for condition. Measurements: 31 in. H × 18.50 in. W × 24 in. D Seat height: 18 in. Designer: Marcel Breuer Model: B33 Manufacturer: Knoll International Date: circa 1992 Materials: Chrome-plated tubular steel and canvas Origin: Knoll International, Italy / USA A highly recognizable Marcel Breuer cantilever chair...

Vintage, New and Antique Side Chairs

Antique and vintage side chairs are space savers by design and wonderfully versatile pieces of seating for your dining room or wherever guests may gather.

Chairs have been indispensable pieces of furniture for a long time. We sit, therefore we deserve good seating. In Ancient Egypt, chairs were utilized in homes regardless of class, and most furniture was made of wood. Comfortable folding chairs, for example, were found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb.

Chairs evolved to be more commonplace in the 1830s, and by the Industrial Revolution, they could be found in most homes. The traditional wooden side chair might feature an upholstered back and seat and was typically used for gathering around a big dining room table. Because the side chair does not feature armrests, it could easily be tucked under the table when not in use or delicately placed in a corner for decorative purposes. Today, the side chair’s slim silhouette and armless design still offer the same level of versatility as it did in its early days. It’s supportive of a large gathering for a meal in the dining room or kitchen and serves as an accent piece (or extra seating) resting against the wall in a living room or inviting foyer.

When shopping for side chairs, think about the colors and furniture style you’ve already introduced to your living room or dining room. Keep the height of your sofa in mind, for example. If you intend to pair your sofa with your side chair when it’s not perched near the dining table, it wouldn’t hurt if the height of your side chair matches the height of your sofa. Even if your side chair will largely be used in the kitchen or dining room, it will likely be used in the living room or home entertainment area as well. When you’re thinking about the seating where meals are served in your home, benches, stools and armchairs make suitable alternatives too. And if you’re feeling adventurous, combining a variety of dining room seating options can be both aesthetically pleasing and downright practical.

Side chairs are available in a number of styles today, and this convenient seating is one of the types of chairs you should know when furnishing your new home. Explore antique and vintage side chairs on 1stDibs. Find Art Deco side chairs and mid-century modern side chairs, or search by creator to find side chairs crafted by legendary designers like Charles and Ray Eames and others.
