Marcel Breuer
Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) was born in Hungary and trained at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany, under Walter Gropius. He produced the first tubular steel armchair – the Model B3 aka the Wassily – in 1925, and pioneered furniture made from laminated wood, notably for British manufacturer, Isokon. A 1936 moulded plywood chair he made inspired the work of the Eames a decade later.
