NOTES
With its undulating seat and supports made of molded plywood, this lounge chair is innovative for its construction and ergonomic design. The chair offered the “scientific relaxation of every part of the body.” Architect Marcel Breuer is best known for developing chromium-plated steel tubing as a support for chairs and tables while he was an instructor at the Bauhaus school of architecture and design in Germany during the 1920s.
