Set of 2 chairs by designer Marcel Breuer - Chromed steel - Wood (beech) - Canework

The designer: Marcel Lajos Breuer (May 21, 1902 in Pécs (Hungary) – July 1, 1981 in New York) was an architect and furniture designer who was an influential modernist. One of the fathers of modernism, Breuer had a great interest in modular constructions and simple forms. Breuer was a student at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany. After spending a year in Paris in an architectural firm, he returned to the Bauhaus in Dessau, this time as a teacher, combining art and technology, and eventually ended up as director of the carpentry workshop. During the Bauhaus period, he created the "B3 chair" better known as the Wassily Chair, the first chair made of bent steel tubes created in 1925 for Wassily Kandinsky, inspired in part by a bicycle handlebar. Still in production, the chair can be assembled and disassembled more easily with bicycle tools. Later, he worked in Berlin, where he designed homes and commercial spaces, as well as many tubular metal furniture pieces, still produced today. The Cesca B32 chair: It is known as the Cantilever Chair and is also an iconic piece of its creator. He designed it in such a way that its aesthetic was minimalist, supported by a curved tubular steel structure. It is made of a single chromed steel tube (a feat, it must be said!), curved at the corners to give it a rounded shape. A particularity that makes the chair's signature: the rear legs are non-existent. Marcel Breuer in fact removed this characteristic. The balance of the chair is based on calculations of weight and overhang. Marcel Breuer gave his daughter's name to what is probably one of his most beautiful creations.
