Tugendhat Pavilion Chair, Cantilever Armchair
Originally designed for the Tugendhat House, a landmark of modern architecture and one of Mies van der Rohe’s defining life works, this armless chair embodies the principles of timeless design. Its cantilever base provides support with a subtle spring, while the seat and back feature large padded leather cushions supported by leather straps mounted on the steel frame.
Mies van der Rohe's belief that “it is better to be good than to be original” resonates in this design. By refining the cantilever chair concept, he created a piece that prioritizes structural clarity, comfort, and elegance—qualities that stand the test of time. It has been featured in various collections and exhibitions, including those at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
