Marcel Breuer |
 |
Marcel Breuer (May 22, 1902 Pécs, Hungary – July 1, 1981 New York City), was a Hungarian-born modernist, architect and furniture designer. One of the masters of Modernism, Breuer displayed interest in modular construction and simple forms.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Breuer pioneered the design of tubular steel furniture. Later in his career he would also turn his attention to the creation of innovative and experimental wooden furniture. Perhaps the most widely-recognized of Breuer's early designs was the first bent tubular steel chair, later known as the Wassily Chair, designed in 1925 and was inspired, in part, by the curved tubular steel handlebars on Breuer's Adler bicycle.
