Marcel Breuer

"Marcel Breuer was well known for his work in the bauhaus. On his stay he made the first tubular metal chair B3 (1925). His inspiration came from the handlebar of his bicycle. As from then he started to make all kinds of furniture such as tables, chairs, stools and cupboards of that kind.  He also refurnished the interior and furniture of the school. He wanted to spread his idea of sitting on “ springy columns of air”. He also was the director of his own architectural practice in Berlin after he stopped teaching in the Bauhaus. Two of his best designs were the B3 (Wassily) and the hugely successful B32 (Cesca)."(Bernard Polster, Claudia Neumann, Markus Schuler  and Fredrick Leven, 2004. The AZ of Modern design)

B32 Cesca

This is the B32 chair the first successful furniture from Breuer. In this chair he use a continuous tubular steel frame behind the back to the legs. In this design he attached to the frame a seat and a back made of wood and cane both separated from each other. By this form and material it became remarkably well known. In my view this chair has a really solid frame and from just bending the tubes an amazing design can be relieved. 

Wassily chair

His B3 or Wassily chair was designed for the accommodation of Wassily Kandinsky. This chair was incredible in the use of the material, bent tubular steel and canvas. This chair has an elegant position that the seat itself is declined backwards that comes 90 degrees with the back. The canvas seat, back, and arms seem to float in space. The body of the user does not touch the steel frame. 

Breuer spoke of the chair as "my most extreme work . . . the least artistic, the most logical, the least 'cozy' and the most mechanical." (Bernard Polster, Claudia Neumann, Markus Schuler  and Fredrick Leven, 2004. The AZ of Modern design)

In my opinion it is a very beautiful chair how Breuer presented it, elegant and clean. I would have make the canvas as a whole instead of small pieces to make it look more in a cleaner and smooth way.
