Villa Sayer in Normandy is another significant residential project designed by Marcel Breuer in the 1970s. It represents Breuer’s exploration of modernist design principles in the context of a more rural, French setting.

Marcel Breuer, born on May 21, 1902, in Pécs, Hungary, was a pioneering architect and furniture designer whose innovative works helped shape the modernist movement of the 20th century.

The ‘Cesca’ chair has been referred to as “one of the ten most important chairs in the 20th century.” Nearly 100 years after its debut, Marcel Breuer’s iconic chair has not lost an ounce of popularity since.
