The Brno Tubular Chair was originally designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1930 for the dining room of the Tugendhat House in Brno, Czech Republic. The Tugendhat House stands as a significant milestone in modern architecture, known for its open-plan design, use of industrial materials like steel and glass, and integration of interior and exterior spaces. Collaborating with Lilly Reich, Mies designed the chair to align with the home’s minimalist aesthetic.

The Brno Chair’s cantilevered tubular steel frame reflects Mies’s philosophy of “eliminating the superfluous,” achieving structural integrity and comfort without the need for rear legs. The design relies on the tensile properties of steel to provide subtle flexibility and support. The upholstered seat and backrest add to its functionality while maintaining the clean, modern silhouette that defines its design.

Architectural historian Peter Blake notes that Mies’s work consistently reduced designs to their most essential elements, from skyscrapers to dining chairs. The Brno Tubular Chair remains a staple of modern design and is highly regarded for its versatility in dining, hospitality, visitor, office, and conference settings.
