$5,200.00

B3 Kandinsky Spaghetti Wassily designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925 and manufactured by Gavina between 1962 and 1968 (there is no recorded date of production, only Gavina’s short lived licensing period). Originally called the B3, Marcel Breuer renamed his iconic masterpiece after the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky. Once licensed by Gavina, the Italian company learned of Kandinsky's connection and began reissuing the design under his name. The B3 Kandinsky features prominently across pop culture, appearing in films and documentaries including - Bauhaus: face of the twentieth century (1994), X-Men: First Class (2011), Promising Young Woman (2020), and 90’s sitcom Frasier (1993). It is on permanent collection MoMA New York, The Met and the Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin. Featuring silicone rope and a sleek chromed steel tube frame, it is a modernist design icon and rare collectors item.
