The Breuer Chair is named after Marcel Breuer, architect and furniture designer. He was born in Hungary and studied at Bauhaus and eventually became their faculty member. The steel tubular design was his idea inspired from his bicycle handlebar at the time.

During that period steel tube was plenty available from German manufacturer Mannesmann. This was an innovative technique from the German company whereas prior to date, steel tubes had to be welded together to create something of same.

Today, steel tube chairs are very recognizable everywhere. Most of us probably aren't aware of the design, but it truly was radical at the time. It probably was the most innovative design improvement in 20th century. You can see Breuer's B5 chair at Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, national Design Museum in New York City. "This chair is an iconic design that has been on our furniture wish list for a long time," says Sarah Coffin, curator of decorative arts at the museum. "We like to tell the history of design by showing things as part of a continuum, and Breuer's work relates to bentwood furniture and industrial design."

Breuer chair's design is among one of our favorite furniture for long period. It has that classic bentwood furniture and modern industrial design combined into one. Another of Breuer's chair B3 is something of a gallery item. B3 is known as Wassily chair, because Wassily Kandinsky as one of Bauhaus' faculty admired and owned one. Wassily chair is almost an art in itself. We mostly see it highlighting a room in an architectural magazine.

From regular dining table chair to magnificent gallery piece, Breuer Chairs truly is an innovation that still lives on.
