Marcel Breuer always had a structural and architectural way of thinking. The S40 glass cabinet looks like a miniature New York skyscraper: its stacked elements are clearly discernible, its construction surprising. It looks as if Breuer had simply inserted the base under its lean struts. As a result, it has two completely different faces. The sides jut outwards and inwards, creating a cantilever shape.
