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

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

In the 1930s, Breuer fled from Germany to England, but eventually came to the United States where he taught with Walter Gropius at Harvard's architectural school.

In 1941 Marcel Breuer founded his own studio in New York. There he developed a number of residential designs. By the 1950s though Breuer was designing large commercial buildings. One of his more famous designs during this period of his career was the UNESCO headquarters building in Paris.

Marcel Breuer designed the laccio table while he was experimenting at the Bauhaus laboratories with various objects, including different stools. The smallest of the laccio tables was actually used as a seat for refectory tables. The Marcel Breuer laccio table series would later appear in photographs of Walter Gropius' house in Dessau. Marcel Breuer would market and produce the laccio table design, in various sizes and dimensions, while employed by Standard-Möbel.
