A Thonet-furnished mid-century villa by Marcel Breuer

The Villa Harnischmacher II in Wiesbaden is the only residential house in Germany to have been designed by Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer. After its renovation, the villa has recently been equipped with Thonet's signature tubular steel furniture, with some of the objects designed by Breuer himself.

Designed by Marcel Breuer in 1954, the Bauhaus bungalow in Wiesbaden is one of the last existing icons of post-War German architecture. Between 2011 and 2014, the Villa Harnischmacher II was renovated, and it's now equipped with classic and modern furniture from the portfolio of traditional German brand Thonet. Especially the tubular steel chairs and armchairs designed by Breuer in the 1930s perfectly match the minimalist austerity of the iconic villa.
