New Research Project by the Torsten Bröhan Design Foundation: Kálmán Lengyel

If one surveys the literature on modernist design, one notices that tubular steel furniture, especially the designs by Marcel Breuer, serve as outstanding examples of Bauhaus aesthetics. However, there is still a lack of precise knowledge of how the path led from the first prototype to early series production. Breuer's compatriot Kálmán Lengyel, whose life and work the Bröhan Design Foundation has been researching since 2016, played an important role in this. A comprehensive publication is to summarize the results. Release is planned for 2023.
Some more information can be found on the Kálmán Lengyel Project Website.
