Anton Lorenz (Hungarian, 1891-1964) for Thonet Armchair, Germany, c. 1950, bent steel tube frame with wood arms, ht. 31, wd. 22 1/4, dp. 29 in. Note: In 1925, Marcel Breuer became the first designer to construct furniture out of tubular steel – a step that would revolutionize modern living. By the late 1920s, a new industry had emerged that made the new tubular steel furniture accessible to an ever-growing consumer market. As one of the first to recognize the potential of this new type of furniture, Anton Lorenz played a key role in these developments and worked for several prominent manufacturers, including Standard Möbel, Desta, and Thonet.
