In this spirit, Le Corbusier co-designed a system of furniture with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand.

The tubular steel furniture — like the famous chaise and Grand Comfort armchair — projected a new rationalist aesthetic that came to epitomize the International Style.

About... While Marcel Breuer's tubular steel chairs were a daring departure from traditional wood design furniture, this radical idea was sparked by Breuer's familiar bicycle handlebars. Mass production, he said, ...made me interested in polished metal, in shiny and impeccable lines in space, as new components of our interiors.

While Mart Stam and Mies van der Rohe had created cantilevered chairs using steel tubes, they were rigid and awkard in use in their first edition.

Drawing upon this image of shiny and impeccable lines in space Marcel Breuer designed his famous Wassilly Chair in 1927 for Wassilly Kandinsky while both were in residence at the Bauhaus.

Marcel Breuer subsequently designed a range of tubular metal design furniture that had singular advantages-affordability, hygiene and an inherent resilience.
