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.
