MR Chaise Lounge Fixed Lounge Chair

Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927, the MR Chaise Lounge is a defining piece in the MR Collection, showcasing his exploration of tubular steel and cantilever design. This chaise is supported by a cantilevered tubular steel frame that offers flexibility, strength, and a comfortable floating effect. It removes the need for traditional rear legs, allowing the frame to adapt to the user’s weight.

Mies van der Rohe once remarked, “Architecture is a language; when you are very good, you can be a poet,” a sentiment is reflected in the MR Chaise Lounge, where simplicity and precision create a sense of harmony and refinement.

Its channel-quilted leather mattress, crafted in segmented sections, is supported by leather straps that provide both durability and support. Each detail in the design serves a purpose, reflecting Mies’s principle that “less is more.” This iconic chaise has appeared in films such as Batman v Superman, Justice League, Crazy, Stupid, Love, and Widows, solidifying its legacy as a cornerstone of modern design.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe 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.
