The sculptural S35 armchair, an icon of the Bauhaus style, consists of a single continuous steel tube that forms the base, supports the seat and makes up the armrests. A visionary work in 1929, Marcel Breuer's lightness, synonymous with mobility and individual freedom, seems as close as possible to our contemporary way of life.

In designing the S35 armchair, Marcel Breuer succeeded in exploiting all the natural qualities of a tubular steel armchair thanks to a double spring effect: the armrests oscillate independently of the seat and counterbalance the oscillating movements of the cantilevered backrest towards the rear. For even greater comfort, the chair is complemented by a matching footrest, also with a cantilever base.

The S35 club chair made its first appearance in 1930 at the now famous Deutscher Werkbund presentation at the Salon des Artistes DĂ©corateurs in Paris. At the time, it was one of the pieces of furniture in a prototype flat block designed by Marcel Breuer in collaboration with Walter Gropius and Herbert Bayer.

Marcel Breuer

Marcel Breuer

Marcel Breuer was born in 1902 in PĂ©cs, Hungary. He began studying art, but chose to study at the Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar from 1920 to 1924. From 1925 to 1928, Breuer was head of the carpentry workshop at the Bauhaus, which had meanwhile moved to Dessau. During this period, he was strongly influenced by Constructivism and De Stijl, and developed a number of pieces of furniture in tubular steel that became all the rage. In 1928, Breuer moved to Berlin and concentrated on interior design. In 1931, he travelled extensively before starting work on several pieces of aluminium furniture in Switzerland in 1932. In 1935, Breuer moved to London, where he worked as an architect. In 1937, he was awarded a chair in architecture at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he later opened an architectural practice with Walter Gropius. Breuer opened his own studio in New York in 1946 and completed numerous projects in Europe and the United States. He is considered one of the most important architects and designers of modernism. Marcel Breuer died on 1 July 1981 in New York.
