In 1925, Marcel Breuer was an apprentice at the Bauhaus when he reduced the classic club chair to its elemental lines, forever altering the future of furniture design. He was inspired to use tubular steel after learning that the material was “bent like macaroni” to make bicycle frames. “I was very much engaged in the transparency of the form,” said Breuer, who, recognizing the potential of this lightweight, sturdy, and malleable material, knew he could create the furniture he envisioned. An early prototype intrigued his associate Wassily Kandinsky, for whom the chair is now named.
