Tell me more.
Marcel Breuer was the first designer to develop tubular steel furniture. This kind of furniture was meant to be functional, comfortable, and lightweight all at once. Breuer started working on these designs when he was teaching at the Bauhaus school in Dessau, Germany.
Did anyone ever sit in this chair?
Breuer pieces were certainly created and sold to be used and the donors did indeed purchase these and use them in their home before gifting them to the Museum.
Thanks!
