Marcel Lajos Breuer (1902-1981), was a Hungarian architect. Breuer was a modernist architect and furniture designer. His work includes museums, libraries, churches, office buildings, and homes. Many in the Brutalist style. You all know how much I love the Brutalist style and so yes I’m quite fond of Breuer’s work. He studied at the Bauhaus with Walter Gropius. There he would become head of the carpentry shop. Breuer was known by Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. Confusion has at one point existed in the design world where it was thought that the Wassily Chair was designed by his friend Wassily Kandinsky. It was not. It was designed by Breuer while he was at Bauhaus. Breuer made a copy of Kandinsky knowing his friend liked it so much. When the chair was re-released in the 60s it was renamed Wassily.
