In 1925, Walter Gropius designed the iconic building for the Bauhaus in Dessau. Its pinwheel structure incorporated separate wings for the various functions: a glazed, three-story workshop wing, another three-story wing for the vocational school and a five-story studio building with projecting balconies. A single-story element connecting the workshop wing and the studios housed an auditorium and canteen. Breuer provided folding, tubular-steel theater chairs for the auditorium and long, dining tables with tubular-steel stools for the canteen. The stools, along with tubular-steel side chairs, were also used as seating throughout the building.
