ISOKON LONG CHAIR

Designed by Marcel Breuer in the mid-1930s for Isokon, the Isokon Long Chair reflects his interest in experimenting with bent and molded plywood as an alternative to tubular steel.

The chair is composed of a continuous curved wooden surface that creates both structure and comfort, allowing the body to recline in a fluid and uninterrupted gesture. Its form appears sculptural, yet it remains closely tied to modernist ideas of functionalism and material innovation.

Unlike Breuer’s earlier steel furniture, the Isokon Long Chair explores warmth, tactility and organic continuity. The result is a piece that combines formal clarity with ergonomic intention, becoming one of the most elegant examples of modern plywood design.
