the frame is made of chromed tubular steel, bent with extreme technical precision to form a continuous, fluid, and elegant line. The frame follows the principle of the cantilever chair: the absence of rear legs creates a visual effect of surprising lightness, with the body weight supported solely by the front legs and the elastic flex of the steel. This solution, revolutionary for its time, conveys a sense of dynamic balance and absolute modernity.
the seat and backrest are made of rattan, a warm and organic material that contrasts with the coldness of the chromed metal. The dense, regular weave is not only decorative, but also functional: it guarantees comfort, breathability, and remarkable durability. The slightly inclined profile of the backrest and the wide seat contribute to a relaxed and ergonomic posture.
the contrast between polished steel and natural fiber is one of the project's distinctive elements: a perfect synthesis of industry and craftsmanship, radical modernism and material sensitivity. The result is a minimalist chair, devoid of superfluous ornamentation, yet extremely sophisticated in its proportions and construction details.
the mr10 model was first presented in 1927 at the famous "die wohnung" exhibition in stuttgart, arousing great astonishment for two main reasons: the innovative use of chromed tubular steel and the chair's extraordinary visual and structural lightness. At the time, the idea of ​​a chair standing without the traditional four legs seemed almost futuristic.
today, these chairs represent a true masterpiece of twentieth-century modern design. They are not just functional objects, but true icons of international design, perfect for both modern interiors and more classic contexts, where they immediately become the centerpieces of the space.
