Marcel Breuer F41 Couch on Wheels bauhaus2yourhouse.com
As one of the fathers of Modernism, Marcel Breuer is widely considered to be the most important with regards to the development of the use of tubular steel in furniture. His early experiments at the Bauhaus School led to a wide range of his own tubular steel furniture, but his works also created a massive array of chair and table designs that continues to this day.
Many of his early tubular steel frame chairs are still in mass production, while vintage models of the Marcel Breuers chairs have become collector items. The F41 is a particularly interesting model as it combines Breuers use of cane, tubular steel, and the source of his early interest in tubular steel the bicycle.
