Jack Pritchard, owner of the progressive modern furniture company Isokon, was so impressed by the popularity of Alvar Aalto’s molded plywood chairs that he invited Marcel Breuer, upon his arrival in England in 1935, to design a similar range. Breuer’s designs for Isokon are all wooden translations of his earlier tubular metal designs.
