Marcel Breuer, Tubular Steel chair, 1928-29 Although firmly established as one of the most prolific members of the Bauhaus and a protégé of its director Walter Gropius, Breuer had little patience with the intellectual debates that ignited the rest of the school preferring to design “without having to philosophise before every move”. In 1924, Breuer left the Bauhaus for Paris where he made ends meet by working for an architect and did “everything I can to forget about my Bauhaus cares”. Paris was another disappointment and when Gropius invited him to run the furniture workshop at the new Bauhaus in Weimar, Breuer said “yes”.Source: designmuseum.org -- source link
