Marcel Breuer

A personality inextricably linked to the Bauhaus era is the Hungarian Marcel Breuer. His multifaceted work still lives on, as can be seen by taking a look at the Wassily armchair, which rests on a chrome-plated tubular steel frame. This piece of furniture, as well as the Ceska swinging chair and the Laggion side table have found a permanent place in our product line.
Marcel Breuer was born in Hungary and was temporarily working in an architect's office in Vienna, before going to Weimar to study the Bauhaus from 1920 to 1924. After his trade test he became the manager of the furniture workshop. He kept this position when the Bauhaus moved to Dessau in 1925. In 1928 he went to Berlin and opened his own architect's office there. In 1935 he left Germany and settled first in London, where he founded an architect's office together with F.R.S. Yorke, and where he subsequently worked as the head of Isokon's design department. In 1937 he emigrated to the United States and received a professorship at the School of Design at Harvard University, which he held until 1946. In 1946 he founded his own company in New York, Marcel Breuer & Associates, which he was managing until his retirement in 1976.
