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 Stool 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 MR Stool has been recognized with the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Award in 1977 and the prestigious Design Centre Stuttgart Award in 1978.
