Description
Marcel Breuer was a German-Hungarian architect and designer. He was one of the central figures in the field of modern architecture and design in the 20th century. Marcel Breuer began his career in 1920 at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where he started an apprenticeship in carpentry and was later appointed head of the furniture workshop. Inspired by the Dutch De Stijl movement and Soviet Constructivism, Breuer began constructing innovative furniture using tubular steel. His creations included, among others, the B32 cantilever chair and the radically avant-garde B3 club chair (the "Wassily"), created in 1925.
Due to his Jewish heritage, Marcel Breuer left Germany following Hitler's rise to power in 1933. After stints in Budapest and London, he emigrated to the USA in 1937. In the United States, he co-founded the Department of Architecture at Harvard University alongside Walter Gropius. From 1946 onwards, Marcel Breuer worked exclusively as an independent architect. Over the following years, he created an impressive body of work consisting of groundbreaking architectural structures. These include, among others, the
UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.
Marcel Breuer passed away in 1981 in New York City.
