Well moving some items I cam upon this Marcel Breuer "Long Chair" stacked on top of some chrome couches in my storage. It's been years since i brought this out and it looks like I might add this to the items I may sell. The design dates back to 1936 and was first manufactured for Breuer by Isokon Furniture. The one I have could be very early, but let's not estimate things like this when you REALLY don't know! Manufactured in laminated birch ply, angled back-rest and shaped seat of one continuous piece of moulded plywood with a thin cloth original upholstery which I purchased in the mid eighties. I a hard thing to part with, but sooner or later you can't be laid to rest in a chair.
