## Summary

Modernist armchair featuring a polished chrome tubular steel cantilever frame and a handwoven natural rattan seat and back.

## Description

Defined by sweeping tubular steel arms, the MR Armchair balances a bold silhouette with pared-down details. It’s a striking chair that will stand the test of time. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s MR Chair was designed in 1927 as part of his contribution to the Weissenhof exhibit in Stuttgart, Germany. The chair’s cantilevered design uses tubular steel – a technological novelty at the time – to create an intuitively accessible and ergonomic seat. Still made to Mies’ original specifications, the MR Armchair is perfectly balanced, featuring the material innovation and lack of ornamentation that epitomize the International Style. It was awarded the Museum of Modern Art Award in 1977 and the Design Center Stuttgart Award in 1978. The frame of this piece is stamped with the KnollStudio logo and Mies van der Rohe’s signature. This is the authentic MR Chair produced by Knoll.
