With his invention of steel tube furniture, Marcel Breuer (1902? 1981) already at the age of 23 years made a name in history. He began his career as one of the most influential architects of the Bauhaus? Group Harnischmacher the House in 1932. Even the very first work of Breuer was characterized by the search for a symbiosis between local and international, large and small, smooth and rough. His sparse use of materials emphasized the balance of textures, colors and shapes. With his keen sense of proportion, shape and material Breuer is one of the most important Modernists and he is still very central to the debate on contemporary architecture. Now a Dutch edition.
