Marcel Breuer is considered one of the fathers of Modernism. During his career he was an architect, teacher and furniture designer. As a student and teacher at the Bauhaus School, Breuer focused on the integration of technology, materials and art.

Breuer is famous for a number of furniture designs, though perhaps no chair design is more famous than his Wassily Chair. Designed in 1925, the Wassily chair was the first bent-tubular steel-framed chair. The chair is very simple in form; yet quite comfortable and exemplary in its use of the Bauhaus design philosophy.

In the 1930s, Breuer fled from Germany to England, and eventually came to the United States where he taught with Walter Gropius at Harvard's School of Architecture.

In 1941 Marcel Breuer founded his own architectural studio in New York. There 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.

Marcel Breuer designed F41 couch on wheels sometime between 1928 and 1930.  This whimsical mobile chaise is clearly a must have piece for the modern classics collector.
