MR Chaise Lounge Adjustable Lounge Chair
Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927, the MR Adjustable Chaise Lounge is a key piece in the MR Collection, showcasing Mies’s early experimentation with tubular steel and cantilevered forms. Drawing inspiration from Marcel Breuer’s pioneering work with tubular steel and the curved forms of 19th-century iron rocking chairs, Mies developed the series merging industrial materials with timeless design.
The MR Adjustable Chaise Lounge features a seamless tubular steel frame and an innovative hook-and-knob adjustment system, allowing the height and angle to be customized for comfort. Its channel-quilted mattress is sewn in seamed sections and supported by straps. The chaise embodies Mies’s principle of “less is more,” focusing on simplicity and essential function.
The MR Chaise Lounge's iconic design has made numerous appearances in popular culture, featured in films such as Batman v Superman, Justice League, Crazy, Stupid, Love, and Widows. Its profile and functional versatility have ensured its enduring appeal as both a statement piece and a functional lounger.
