The Brno Flat Bar Chair was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1930 for his renowned Tugendhat House in Brno, Czech Republic. The Brno Flat Bar Chair Model 255 showcases Mies’ dedication to minimalism and functionality. Its cantilevered, hand-ground, hand-buffed frame provides comfort and a subtle spring and allowed for the elimination of back legs, creating a design that aligns with Mies’ vision of “eliminating the superfluous” and achieving purity in form This Flat Bar version was specifically developed for the master bedroom of the Tugendhat House and later refined at the request of architect Philip Johnson for the Four Seasons restaurant. Its design and comfort make it functional in many environments, including residential, hospitality, and corporate. Architectural historian Peter Blake noted that in Mies’ designs, every detail is refined to a point of breathtaking beauty and eloquence. This chair is a sought-after piece for dining, visitor, and conference settings. Shop the Brno Flat Bar Chair by Mies van der Rohe, Model 255, online in Canada.
