Architect and designer Marcel Breuer is perhaps best known for the design of his famous tubular steel Wassily Chair.

Architecture Without Rules:
The Houses of Marcel Breuer and Herbert Beckhard

Insights into the work and careers of Marcel Breuer and Herbert Beckhard are always on point and thought-provoking. The book also happens to be handsomely produced, with lots of back-and-white and color photographs of their finished work. This book is essential, I think, as a reference, and a pleasure to read throughout.
