This vintage chaise was designed by Mies van der Rohe in 1927 as part of his contribution to the Weissenhof exhibit in Stuttgart, Germany. The MR Collection represents some of his earliest steel furniture designs.
Made of tubular chromed steel and leather, this iconic piece was edited by Knoll International in the 70s. As a company that produced many of the most famous and iconic furniture designs of the 20th century, Knoll was a chief influence in the rise of modern design in the United States. Their work would help change the face of the American home and office.
The Bauhaus Master Marcel Breuer influenced Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's use of tubular steel. This was apparent in his design of the MR Adjustable Chaise Lounge that we propose in “Sabrina,” white leather. Forms were thought to be modern derivatives of 19th-century Iron Rocking Chairs. Inspired by the possibilities of this material, Mies incorporated chrome tubular steel in furniture design, mixing it with traditional fabrics like for this vintage piece in leather.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a German-American architect, academic, and interior designer. Along with Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Frank Lloyd Wright, he is regarded as one of the pioneers of modernist architecture.
Mies’s famed dictum “less is more” grew from his belief that architecture guides and expresses the spirit of the times. He envisioned the 20th century as open-minded, logical, transparent, and liberated by technology.
Pieces designed by Mies and Reich, such as the MR Chaise Lounge, deliver maximum comfort and support from a minimum of materials: their “lavishness” derives from the precision with which they are engineered and constructed.
It is rare to find this chair with its head cushion.
