MR side chair

influenced by marcel breuer’s use of tubular steel, ludwig mies van der rohe quickly recognized the compatibility of this revolutionary material with the contemporary design ethos. inspired by the lines of tubular iron rockers designed in europe during the mid-19th century, mies incorporated a new material and a new technology in the use of the cantilever principle.

the knollstudio logo and signature of ludwig mies van der rohe is stamped into the base of the MR chair. every piece of furniture has an individual production number of identification and authenticity.

“architecture is a language, when you are very good you can be a poet,” wrote the acclaimed architect and bauhaus director. ludwig mies van der rohe as a leading modernist architect and furniture designer, mies elevated industrial-age materials to an art form. his steel-framed buildings with large-scale glazing, like the seagram building in new york (1958) and the nationalgalerie in berlin (1968), are landmarks of modern architecture.
