Breuer began working with Junkers Aircraft and Motor Works (often known as simply 'Junkers') in 1925, the same year he became the master of the furniture workshop at the Bauhaus and produced his first tubular-steel design. Junkers engineers helped Breuer advance his designs and use of materials. This chair was designed by Breuer and made in collaboration with Junkers. An example of this chair is held in the collection of the Hugo Junkers Museum of Technology, Dessau.
