Marcel Lajos Breuer

Marcel Lajos Breuer (May 21, 1902 Pécs, Hungary – July 1, 1981 New York City), architect and furniture designer, was an influential modernist of a Jewish decent. One of the fathers of Modernism, Breuer showed a great interest in modular construction and simple forms. Marcel studied and taught at the Bauhaus in the 1920s, stressing the combination of art and technology, and eventually became the head of the school's cabinet-making shop. He later practiced in Berlin, designing houses and commercial spaces, as well as a number of tubular metal furniture pieces, replicas of which are still in production today. 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 inspired, in part, by the curved tubular steel handlebars on Breuer's Adler bicycle.

He was influent by modernism of a Jewish decent and was inspired by the curved tubular steel handlebars. I didnt enjoy studying this designer, because its not a first architect who used curve and steel shapes, it wasnt anything new to me.

Verner Panton 1926-1998

Verner Panton was one of the mos influential designers of the 1960s and '70s. Born in Denmark, Panton relocated to Switzerland in the early 1960s. He become known for his original and imaginative designs in the fields of furniture, lighting and textiles. In addition to his expirements with shape and colou, Verner Panton was ethusiastic about the design potential of plastic a new material at the time. One of his ambitions was to create a comfortable, all-purpase plastic chair moulded in a single piece.

I enjoyed looking through this designer as he not only designed furniture, but he was an interior designer which I am intrested in. His project are really different and unique as I never seen this kind of work. He used curve spahes and bright colours. I might use Verner Panton as a inspiration for my final piece.
