The MR Chaise Lounge was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927 as part of the MR Collection, showcasing his innovative explorations of tubular steel.
Influenced by Marcel Breuer’s innovations and 19th-century iron rocking chairs, the MR Chaise features a floating recline supported by its seamless cantilever frame, which provides a slight spring and responsive support that adjusts to the user’s weight. Its channel-quilted mattress and strap supports balance comfort and elegance.

Product Information
Product Details
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.
