MR Side Chair: Cane Rattan

USD $980.00

The MR Side Chair with Cane Rattan was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as part of his iconic MR Collection.  First introduced at the influential Stuttgart Weissenhof Estate exhibition in 1927, this chair combines the structural innovation of tubular steel with the natural lightness of cane rattan.

The MR Side Chair’s cantilevered design was influenced by fellow Bauhaus master Marcel Breuer and inspired by 19th-century iron rocking chairs. It provides a breathable and comfortable seat and back as a distinctive alternative to the leather sling version.

Shown with Polished Chrome Steel Frame.

The Archetype Forms MR Side Chair: Cane Rattan is a faithful reproduction of the original Mies van der Rohe MR Side Chair, Rattan.

Mies van der Rohe

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) was a German-American architect and designer who profoundly shaped modern architecture and furniture design. He began his career in Berlin before emigrating to the United States in 1937. Van der Rohe''s minimalist aesthetic is epitomized by his motto "less is more." His iconic Barcelona Chair and Ottoman (1929) were designed with Lilly Reich for welcoming the Spanish King and Queen to the German Pavilion at the Barcelona International Exhibition. His Barcelona Daybed (1930) and MR Chair series (1927) further showcase his mastery of minimalist form with organic and industrial materials. Mies's architectural achievements include the Seagram Building in New York and the Farnsworth House . His work is characterized by clean lines, detailed craftsmanship, and innovative use of industrial materials.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe once remarked, “It is better to be good than to be original,” reflecting his belief in building on existing ideas to achieve excellence. The MR Side Chair demonstrates this philosophy, drawing on Marcel Breuer’s pioneering use of tubular steel and the flowing curves of 19th-century iron rocking chairs. The original design is featured in the Victoria and Albert Museum collection in the UK.
