The Breuer style chair is named after the Austrian-born American architect and furniture designer. It was developed in 1949 and is a well known and widely recognized design in the modern furniture world.

The typical characteristics of this piece of furniture include large padded armrests, a suspended seat with movable backrest which adjusts to different positions, and four solid feet made from aluminum, steel or wood that has been bent into an arch shape. The chairs also usually feature leather or vinyl upholstery. These chairs were designed to give its user maximum comfort for sitting for lengthy periods of time while reading, writing or working on their computer. Though these days they’re used more as decoration than functional pieces; nevertheless they remain popular.

Breuer chairs are recognized as being one of the most important contributions to modern design. Designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925, they are now recognized as icons of twentieth century contemporary art. They are mainly made of tubular steel with either melamine or leather upholstery. This style has gone on to become a hallmark of Scandinavian Design because it provides restrained comfort and functionality while offering no distractions for the eye. The chair’s graceful simplicity is also why it is often quoted as an example of functionalist design, which emphasizes utility above all else.”

The Breuer chair is designed for maximum comfort over prolonged periods without sacrificing its clean lines-a factor that ushered in a revival for similarly styled furniture that became popular outside Scandinavia.

Breuer designed chairs using bent plywood covered in leather, which was revolutionary for the time. The intent of his design was to create comfortable chairs that also functioned as sculptures.

The chair has several design strengths including its form-follows-function construction and beautiful forms created by Breuer’s materials of choice: burlap and wood. Additionally, it is structurally sound and can support large amounts of weight without collapsing because of its sturdy dimensions compounded by the way in which it is constructed [1].
