Thanks
Thanks for the link, but i was wondering also where i could find the diameter of the steel that is used, all the detailed measurments. Thanks

I'll try to find out tomorrow...
I'll try to find out tomorrow. I'm helping my friend rearrange her mid-century modern shop tomorrow because it's getting photographed by Southern Living on Wednesday. Anyhoo, she has two Wassily chairs for sale so I can measure the diameter at her store.

My source
says the chair as originally designed had 20mm (13/16") tubing.
The Nov 16 issue of The New Yorker magazine has a review by Peter Schjeldahl of the Bauhaus show at the Museum of Modern Art (New York). The illustration shows a Wassily Chair; the caption reads "A woman in a Breuer club chair, wearing an Oskar Schlemmer mask, circa 1926."
Has anyone ever heard of the Wassily characterized as a club chair ? Is there any way that the chair could be thought of as an abstracted or minimal club chair ?

Yes.
As the Victoria and Albert Museum says in a description written for a 2006 exhibit:
"Breuer's metal chair .... subverted the traditionally bulky, space-encumbering form of the upholstered club armchair. It fulfilled, however, precisely the same function as the traditional chair"

hey thank you
Hey ( cloudburst 2000) those measurments and diameters would be great. Thank you.

Thanks
fastfwd. Note that nowhere in the V&A article is the name "Wassily" mentioned. This may be because the name was applied to the chair only in the 'fifties -- nearly thirty years after it was designed -- "when Gavina of Milan introduced it to their line under that name" (quoting from "Contemporary Classics").
