Product Details

MR Side Chair Sling

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s philosophy of “less is more” is evident in the MR Side Chair, which strips away unnecessary elements to reveal its essential elegance and functionality. Introduced at the Stuttgart Weissenhof Estate exhibition in 1927, the MR Side Chair builds on Marcel Breuer’s pioneering use of tubular steel and the graceful curves of 19th-century iron rocking chairs, creating a design that is both timeless and modern.

The leather sling seat offers a comfortable and supportive alternative to the cane rattan version, with its sophisticated interplay of industrial materials and artisanal craftsmanship. This MR Side Chair design has gained cultural prominence, appearing in films such as Widows, Weekend at Bernie’s, and the Prometheus promo short film. It is also part of the Victoria and Albert Museum collection in the UK.

The MR Side Chair with Leather Sling is available in an MR Armchair version, with both available in cane rattan options.
