20th Century Furniture Designers and Architects

Marcel Breuer - Hungarian

"The origin of the modern movement was not technology, for technology was developed long before it was thought of. What the new architecture did was to civilise technology", Marcel Breuer 1934.

Marcel Breuer was the first architect to produce furniture that was a valid machine product as well as aesthetically pleasing.
He produced tubular steel chairs that we in tune with the new architecture.
His Wassily chair, 1925, was inspired by bicycle handlebars, and was the first tubular steel chair designed for the living room.

The bicycle industry had perfected the art of bending tubular steel without it collapsing. His designs were created for mass production by machines.
He was a student then a master at the Bauhaus. He had broken away from the old style of furniture design and used geometric forms that were elementary and functional.
