Mies van der Rohe MR 20 Chair
Bent Nickel-plated tubular steel and original red painted cane.
The architect and designer Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is one of the best-known exponents of International Style modernism. His „less-is-more“ philosophy has become a catchphrase for much twentieth-century design, though a preference for luxurious and costly materials often underscores
the deceptive simplicity of his elegant and refined designs. This graceful, elegant, and beautifully proportioned „MR20“ chair, developed from a 1924 design for a cantilevered chair by Mart Stam, was introduced by Mies van der Rohe at the 1927 Stuttgart exhibition and has remained in production ever since.
