Description: | The Isokon flats at Lawn Road, Hampstead were built in the 1930s. The name 'Isokon' is a combination of the words 'Isometric Construction' and their designs focused on simplicity and efficiency. The Isokon flats were designed for semi-communal living and were popular with young artistic professionals, many of whom were immigrants from Europe fleeing the Nazi government. Famous residents include Agatha Christie, Walter Gropius, and Henry Moore. This chair was designed by Marcel Breuer, an important member of the Bauhaus school, and is a copy in plywood of one of an earlier metal design. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Hampstead Museum | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Art and Design | Temporal: | 1937 | Source: | Burgh House and Hampstead Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
