Clothes rack, coat rack, bike holder – Z10 stands stably in space thanks to its endlessly curved line and transforms apartments, rooms and lofts into galleries.

Ride a bike! Marcel Breuer was already fascinated by the momentum of rolling: “My flight of fancy – which came to me whilst cycling in a train of thought that led from the handlebars of my bicycle to the engineering of tubular steel furniture – quite unexpectedly spread across the globe.” In 1937 the designer thus described the ground-breaking innovation inspired by his bent bicycle handlebars: the development of tubular steel furniture. Like many other artists of the Weimar Republic, Marcel Breuer was a keen cyclist. Like the first tubular steel furniture, such as Marcel Breuer’s B40, the Z10 is also bent from tubular steel.
