Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, one of the pioneers of modern architecture and design, created the MR Side Chair in 1927 as part of his early explorations with tubular steel furniture. Influenced by the Bauhaus movement and the emerging ideals of industrial production, Mies sought to express purity of form through minimalist structure. The MR Side Chair embodies his “less is more” philosophy: a single continuous steel tube forms the cantilevered frame, eliminating traditional legs and creating a graceful floating effect. The rattan seat and backrest soften the chair’s modernist geometry, balancing industrial precision with natural warmth. This fusion of sleek metal and woven material exemplifies Mies’s mastery of restraint—achieving both comfort and elegance through simplicity. The MR series remains a hallmark of 20th-century design, seamlessly merging craftsmanship, modernity, and timeless sophistication. See less
