VINTAGE MR20 CHAIR DESIGNED BY MIES VAN DER ROHE
The MR20 chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is a modernist icon that embodies the Bauhaus ethos of form following function. Designed in 1927, this cantilevered chair features a tubular steel frame that creates a graceful, continuous curve, offering both structural innovation and visual lightness. The seat and back are typically woven cane or leather, emphasizing simplicity and craftsmanship. With its floating silhouette and minimal materials, the MR20 captures Mies’s philosophy of “less is more” and remains a timeless symbol of 20th-century design.
This particular example is dated to the 1960s and is likely produced by Knoll.
The piece presents well and whilst the chrome frame is shiny bright it does display patina from age. The leather slings are sturdy (no tears or cracks) and display a lovely patina to their surface.
A wonderfully unique piece of Bauhaus design history and a fabulous addition to any space.
