Marcel Breuer S32 and S64 chairs are masterpieces of modernist innovation and material expression. Designed in the late 1920s, these chairs reflect the Bauhaus ethos of uniting craftsmanship with industrial production.
Breuer’s pioneering use of bent tubular steel redefined furniture design, enabling structures that were not only lightweight and strong but visually weightless. The S32 features a cantilevered frame that eliminates the need for back legs, creating a sense of floating elegance. Its woven cane seat and backrest introduce warmth and texture, offering a tactile counterbalance to the cool, industrial steel. The S64 adds refined wooden armrests, increasing comfort while preserving the minimalist integrity of the form.
These chairs exemplify the modernist principles of clarity, functionality, and reduction. Their transparent geometry enhances spatial openness, making them ideal for both compact and expansive interiors. Produced by Thonet, they remain among the most successful cantilever chair designs in history. The S32 and S64 stand as enduring icons – where engineering meets poetic simplicity in everyday form.
David Hockney, one of the most influential British artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, is celebrated for his bold use of color, inventive compositions, and pioneering spirit across multiple media. Born in 1937 in Bradford, England, Hockney emerged in the 1960s as a leading figure of the Pop Art movement, gaining prominence with his evocative portraits and luminous Californian pool scenes. His works often explore themes of domestic life, landscape, memory, and personal identity.
A relentless experimenter, Hockney has embraced technologies ranging from Polaroid collages and fax machines to iPads and digital drawing, consistently pushing the boundaries of visual expression. His portraits and landscapes, particularly those capturing the light and space of Los Angeles and the Yorkshire countryside, reveal a deep sensitivity to place and perspective.
Hockney’s work continues to be widely exhibited and celebrated globally. Through his innovative approach and lifelong curiosity, Hockney has redefined what it means to see and to be seen, in contemporary art.
