Designed in 1958 for the Four Seasons Restaurant at the Seagram Building in New York, the Four Seasons Barstool represents the collaboration between Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson. This barstool reflects Miesโs commitment to refined simplicity, following his principle that “less is more.” Its cantilevered steel frame achieves structural elegance while offering subtle, springing comfort and support, tying into the restaurantโs interior and its other pieces, like Miesโs Flat Bar and Tubular Brno Chair.
The stoolโs bent steel structure, paired with premium upholstery, balances industrial precision and functional luxury. High-density foam padding ensures long-lasting comfort, while the minimalist profile speaks to Miesโs belief in removing superfluous elements to focus on the essentials of design.
The Four Seasons Barstool embodies the International Styleโs emphasis on material innovation and architectural harmony, making it a timeless addition to any modern space.
