[1] After leaving Germany, Breuer spent 1935–37 working in London for the Isokon company, and in partnership with Yorke.
He became interested in modernist design and gained an introduction to Breuer via Isokon's proprietor, Jack Pritchard.
Gane commissioned the pavilion as a showroom to display his range of products at the 1936 Royal Show,[3] which that year was held at Ashton Court.
[4][5] The pavilion, designed by Breuer and Yorke,[6] was a flat-roofed building with planes of local stone and glass walls.
[6] Breuer later stated that it was one of his two favourite works, after the UNESCO Headquarters building in Paris.
