Description

In 1925, Marcel Breuer was an apprentice at the Bauhaus when he reduced the classic club chair to its elemental lines, forever altering the future of furniture design. He was inspired to use tubular steel after learning that the material was “bent like macaroni” to make bicycle frames. “I was very much engaged in the transparency of the form,” said Breuer, who, recognizing the potential of this lightweight, sturdy, and malleable material, knew he could create the furniture he envisioned. An early prototype intrigued his associate Wassily Kandinsky, for whom the chair is now named.

Marcel BREUER

Architect and furniture designer, Marcel Breuer, born in 1902 in Hungary, had a strong influence on the Bauhaus school, where he was a brilliant student. After a year in Paris working for an architect, he returned to the Bauhaus, where he ran the carpentry workshop from 1925 to 1928, combining art and technology. During this time, he created his tubular steel collection, including the B3 chair, better known as the Wassily Chair, published by Knoll. This armchair is now recognized as one of the icons of modern design. After a brief stint in London from 1935 to 1937 with Isokon, one of the first modern design manufacturers in the UK, he emigrated to the United States. Marcel Breuer taught at Harvard’s Architecture School and worked as an architect in collaboration with Johnson and Paul Rudolph, and later Walter Gropius. He was the first architect in history to exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
