Villa Harnischmacher II
A jewel of the post-war era: Villa Harnischmacher II is a brilliant example of the architecture and tubular steel artistry of Marcel Breuer
Thonet in a starring role: an iconic Bauhaus villa in Wiesbaden?s city centre by Marcel Breuer in 1954 sets the ideal stage for the tubular steel furniture that he designed in the late 1920s for the Frankenberg-based company.
These classic Breuer designs are supported by a sympathetic cast of contemporary designs from the Thonet portfolio. The bungalow is Breuer?s only existing example of a residential home in Germany and is considered an outstanding work of modern architecture. The clear, open and simple design of the Thonet furniture harmoniously merges with the elegantly discreet and highly functional layout of the house.
The Thonet cantilever chairs, lamps and tables contribute to the character of the restored bungalow in a very special way. The house is furnished with more than ten different pieces from the portfolio. The family that now lives in the house undertook a major and authentic restoration of the Villa Harnischmacher II between 2011 and 2014, in close cooperation with the German office for the preservation of historical monuments.
