Description :Marcel Breuer designed the B5 chair in 1926, and it quickly became one of the manufacturer, Standard-Mobel's, best-selling models. In its circa 1927 catalog it touts the advantages of Breuer's furniture as having all the comfort of traditional upholstered furniture without its weight, unwieldiness, and "unsanitary quality." The Breuer B5 chair design is credited with being one of the first tubular steel chairs, following Breuer's basic structural principle: the pursuit of maximum funtionality and minimum weight at the most economical production cost. Architect, teacher and furniture designer, Marcel Breuer is considered one of the fathers of Modernism. As a student and teacher at the Bauhaus School, Breuer focused on the integration of technology, materials and art.In the 1930s, Breuer fled from Germany to England, and eventually came to the United States w he taught with Walter Gropius at Harvard's School of Architecture. In 1941 Marcel Breuer founded his own architectural studio in New York. T he developed a number of residential designs. By the 1950s he was designing large commercial buildings. One of his more prominent designs during this period of his career was the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. Breuer's tubular steel furniture as illustrated by the B5 chair was one of the great industrial successes of the Bauhaus.
