Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) and Philip Johnson (1906-2005) were influential architects who collaborated on several projects, notably the Four Seasons Restaurant in New York’s Seagram Building (1959). Mies is known for his minimalist “less is more” philosophy, and Johnson a champion of the International Style, combining their talents to create the restaurant. Their design extended to every detail, including the iconic Four Seasons barstool (1958). Their collaborations showcase their shared vision of integrating architecture and furniture design to create a cohesive, timeless aesthetic.
