Abstract (en)

Considers the changing attitudes toward design in the 20th c., discussing the controversy surrounding the invention and marketing of the so-called "Marcel Breuer" chair made of steel tubing with no back legs; the dispute over the commercial value of design that arose at the 1914 Werkbund exhibition, Cologne; and subsequent arguments for the status of design as a fine art versus a consumer product.
