Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) was a Hungarian-born modernist architect and furniture designer. Renowned for his innovative contributions to 20th-century design, Breuer played a significant role in the development of the International Style. After studying at the Bauhaus, he became one of the institution's youngest faculty members, working alongside luminaries such as Walter Gropius. Breuer's architectural designs, characterized by clean lines, geometric forms, and the innovative use of materials like steel and concrete, influenced countless structures worldwide, including the iconic UNESCO headquarters in Paris. Additionally, his furniture designs, notably the Wassily Chair and the Cesca Chair, remain influential and widely celebrated in the design community.
