Marcel Breuer
Rare armchair for Junkers
Hungary / Germany, c. 1930
aluminum, original upholstery
32 h × 22 w × 27 d in (81 × 56 × 69 cm)
Breuer began working with Junkers Aircraft and Motor Works (often known as simply 'Junkers') in 1925, the same year he became the master of the furniture workshop at the Bauhaus and produced his first tubular-steel design. Junkers engineers helped Breuer advance his designs and use of materials. This chair was designed by Breuer and made in collaboration with Junkers. An example of this chair is held in the collection of the Hugo Junkers Museum of Technology, Dessau.
This work can be previewed, and collected from, Wright in Chicago.
Condition Report: Chair frame shows assorted minor wear in the form of thin scratches and small abraded areas, all in keeping with contact over time. Upholstery bears signs of use, while remaining free of any notable wear or egregious discoloration. One small pin has been added to joinery near right armrest. Very good vintage condition.
