The Marcel Breuer chair is regarded as one of the most beautifully designed chairs in all of history. The seat, back, and frame are made from tubular metal with a curved structure which allows for greater stability with a lighter frame. Read more about it here!

DOs

• Do keep your Breuer chair clean. A quick wipe with a damp cloth every few days will help maintain that lovely, sleek look.
• Do use caution when lifting or moving it; make sure you’ve got someone helping you if needed! 
• Do spend some time thinking about what color would work best in each room of your house (or office). Then go shopping accordingly! 
• Make sure to always use the proper safety precautions when moving a Breuer chair. The chairs have narrow seats and high backs, so they’re easy to tip over if you’re not careful. Always place something under the back legs, such as a table or ottoman, before trying to move it.
• Do remember to dust your Breuer chair with natural fibers like cotton or wool, as these will help prevent the fabric from becoming too shiny.
• Make sure the chair is appropriate for your space. It should be proportional to the room and other furniture.
• Enjoy the chair! It’s a classic for a reason.

DON’TS

• Ignore weight limits listed by the manufacturer. A chair that’s overloaded will not only be uncomfortable but also dangerous.
• Rush into a purchase without taking the time to think about what you need.
• Sitting in them with heavy loads could cause damage either under your seat or behind where your back rests against the chair’s frame.
• Exposed to too much UV light or harsh chemicals which could damage them even more than just using soap and water would do on occasion
• Avoid leaving food on chairs for an extended period of time; it may stain over time and require professional cleaning.
• Don’t sit in a Breuer chair without first checking for stability issues.
