ABOUT PRODUCTID 11433
The B40 chair, designed by Marcel Breuer and produced by German manufacturer Tecta in the 1990s, stands as a distinct example of Bauhaus-inspired modernism from the 1930s. Its construction features a frame of polished, nickel-plated tubular steel, with geometric lines and precise bends forming a cantilevered base and squared armrests. The seat and backrest are crafted from smooth, matte natural leather in a deep black shade, free from visible stitching. Seamless joints and the minimalist profile highlight the high level of craftsmanship typical for Tecta. The chair’s proportions are balanced, and the open space beneath the seat lends an architectural lightness to the form. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of use, damage, or restoration.In its form, the chair expresses the spirit of an era that valued honesty of materials and function. The B40 speaks the language of the Bauhaus—nickel-plated steel reflects light, emphasizing the project’s industrial lineage, while the black leather brings a sense of measured restraint. It is a manifesto of practicality and the boldness of 1930s modernism, with every detail—from sharply defined angles to the interplay of materials—telling a story of the search for harmony between structure and aesthetics.The B40 chair can be paired with a minimalist table featuring a metal or glass base to accentuate its architectural lightness. It works well in both a contemporary living room and a Bauhaus-inspired office. It is worth combining with a neutral color palette, simple lighting, or natural wood accents to balance the coolness of the metal. In collector’s interiors, it can be displayed alongside other icons of 20th-century design, highlighting its historical context and timeless character.
