Marcel Breuer & Gavina: History and Design
Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) was one of the leading figures of the Bauhaus movement, renowned for his innovative use of materials, particularly tubular steel. His work had a profound impact on modern design, with iconic creations such as the Wassily chair.
Gavina, founded by Dino Gavina, was one of Italy’s most revolutionary design companies in the post-war period. In the 1960s, it collaborated with major international designers, including Breuer, helping to spread modernism in Italy. The company produced avant-garde pieces characterized by elegance and functionality, laying the foundation for the future of Italian design and anticipating contemporary minimalism.
