furniture

When Hannes Meyer became director in 1928, and Breuer was succeeded as leader of the furniture workshop first by Josef Albers and then by Alfred Arndt, the workshops priorities were realigned. The aim was now to create low-cost multi-purpose, standard furniture. A number of ingenious folding or adjustable work chairs were designed, often using tubular steel and plywood in conjunction. Alfred Arndts chair 1929-30 which is sometimes attributed to Breuer, folds completely flat so that it can fold up against a wall.
