Through the collection of the Hungarian Museum of Architecture, this presentation highlights Marcel Breuer’s achievements as both a pioneering furniture designer and a visionary architect, tracing the legacy of one of the twentieth century’s most influential designers.

The book (a bilingual, Hungarian-English publication) and this presentation, explore Breuer’s Hungarian roots and connections with his American career, and also features aspects of Hungarian émigré culture in the US.
