Marcel Lajos Breuer was a modernist builder and furniture designer from Hungary. He was born on May 21, 1902, and died on July 1, 1981. At the Bauhaus, he made the Wassily Chair and the Cesca Chair "among the 10 most important chairs of the 20th century." 1] Breuer took the sculpture vocabulary he learned in the carpentry shop at the Bauhaus and turned it into his style of architecture. This made him one of the most famous architects in the world at the height of 20th-century design. Some places he has built are art museums, libraries, college buildings, office buildings, and homes. Many are in the Brutalist style, like the building that used to be IBM Research and Development and where the first desktop computer was made.
