Mid-Century Black Leather Tubular Steel Armchair – Wassily Chair

Modern black leather and chrome tubular armchair provided as a Revit family, capturing the iconic Bauhaus Wassily slung-strap profile. Constructed from a continuous tubular steel frame with a polished chrome finish, the piece forms an open geometric cage. Taut black leather straps are tensioned across the structural rails to form the suspended seat sling, twin angled backrest bands, side panels, and planar armrests. Subtle mechanical fasteners and cap joints secure the intersecting pipework, producing a minimalist skeletal silhouette devoid of traditional internal padding. The reclined seating angle and low-profile stance reproduce the proportions of classic modernist club seating.

The download is a 584 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit projects, load this standalone furniture component directly into interior layout views, positioning it on target floor levels with standard zero-offset parameters. Its compact file footprint avoids project bloat during coordination. Material parameters separate the metal tubing from the leather strapping, facilitating custom finish assignments and accurate visibility overrides in documentation schedules or shaded presentations.

Ideal for specification across corporate executive offices, high-end residential living rooms, design studio reception zones, and boutique hotel lounges. The chair pairs naturally with minimalist low coffee tables, wool area rugs, and refined architectural finishes like fair-faced concrete or terrazzo. Visualisers and architects routinely deploy this asset when styling modernist lounge arrangements, mid-century reading corners, or design-forward breakout spaces.
