Marcel Breuer Design and Architecture
The Museum of Design Atlanta in association with the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library proudly present
Oct 27 – Jan 16
Marcel Breuer
Design and Architecture
Designer and architect Marcel Breuer is considered the inventor of tubular style furniture and one of the 20th century’s leading designers. Born and raised in Hungary, Breuer headed up the furniture workshop at the Bauhaus from 1925 to 1928, where he produced a number of furniture pieces, including the classic Wassily club chair that brought him international fame. His second career as an architect began when Breuer immigrated to the United States in 1937. His buildings were recognized the world over in the 1950’s and 1960’s for their unique character and flourishes of modernism. This exhibition pays homage and brings to light the many contributions Breuer brought to both furniture design and architecture, and it does so in the last building Breuer designed. The Atlanta-Fulton Public Library was dedicated in 1980, just a year before Breuer passed away. museumofdesign.org
This exhibition is being held at both MODA and the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library.
This exhibition is sponsored by: The Scaler Foundation; AIA Atlanta; ASID Georgia Chapter; Docomomo/US, Georgia Chapter; Dornbracht; Axor | Hansgrohe; King and Spalding; and Perkins+Will
