added by Becky Harris to Modern Icons: Marcel Breuer's Wassily Chair
O.K., back to Bauhaus! Breuer was also an architect, and like most of his European colleagues, he had to flee Europe during World War II. He landed at Harvard along with his Bauhaus mentor, Walter Gropius, and went on to become one of the Harvard 5, a group of Bauhaus architects who landed in New Canaan, Conn. in the 1940s (think of the houses in The Ice Storm). Besides Breuer, this group included Philip Johnson, Eliot Noyes, Landis Gores and John M. Johansen. This house looks like one that this quintet would have admired, and it was made for Wassily chairs.
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Take a Tour of Popular Colors Through the Decades
When the war ended and our servicemen and -women returned, Americans took to building a new 20th-century America. This America was a celebration of the future, with modern materials and designs. Chrome tubular chairs replaced overstuffed lounges, while curtains and blinds gave way to sheets of glass. The colors were sophisticated and rich; deep browns and ebony blacks against shiny metal ruled.

Furniture choices are very linear and there is a sense of large space. Also it doesn't take away from the large view of the space. This works.
