Enjoy your food and drinks on a piece of designer furniture that exudes simple elegance and dream yourself back to the heyday of the Four Seasons in New York!
Created for a luxurious environment
The design of the Four Seasons bar stool was - as the name suggests - created and specified for the bar room of the Four Seasons Restaurant in the Seagram Building in New York. It is believed to be a collaborative effort between Mies van der Rohe, the building's architect, and Phillip Johnson, a student of Mies and the restaurant's designer. The cantilevered chrome frame, slender profile and meticulous craftsmanship complement van der Rohe's Flat Bar Brno Chair, which was used throughout the restaurant. The restaurant opened in November 1959. In 2004, Carl Magnusson developed the stool for production in Italy. In 2006, Knoll brought the design into mass production for the first time.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, born in 1886 in Germany, began his career working in his father's stonemasonry business. After an apprenticeship with furniture designer Bruno Paul in Berlin, he joined the office of architect Peter Behrens, whose work presaged the modern movement. In 1912, Mies established his own office in Berlin, and later became a member of the Deutscher Werkbund and Director of the Bauhaus.
“I feel that it must be possible to harmonise the old and new in our civilisation.” – Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
He immigrated to the United States in 1938, setting up a practice in Chicago. His buildings include the German Pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona Exposition, the Tugendhat Villa in Brno, Czechoslovakia, the Seagram Building, designed with Philip Johnson, a cluster of residential towers along Chicago's Lakeshore Drive in Chicago, and the Illinois Institute of Technology campus, where he was the director of architecture. He was also considered a close friend and mentor to Florence Knoll during her time at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Knoll International – A belief in modern design
In 1938, Knoll International was founded by Hans and Florence Knoll, who embraced the creative genius at the Bauhaus School and the Cranbrook Academy of Art to create new types of furniture and environments for the workplace. Their approach was to combine craftsmanship with technology through the use of design. Florence Knoll also developed the idea of the modern office and pioneered the interior design profession.
Knoll has been recognized internationally for creating workplace and residential furnishings that inspire, evolve, and endure. With its thoughtful, inventive products Knoll responds to individual work styles and transcends multiple generations. Knoll's commitment to modern, sustainable design and understanding of the workplace results in a unique portfolio. Here, the latest collections sit alongside modern classics and iconic products.
For more than 80 years now Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy that modern furniture should complement architectural space, not compete with it. Therefore, they use modern design to connect people to their work, their lives, their world. The essence of it all: modern living and working with a contemporary approach without losing a connection to the past.
Material and format
The basis of the Four Seasons bar stool is a frame made of curved spring steel, high-gloss chrome-plated and thus particularly noble and robust. For the upholstery, a foam cushion has been covered with carefully selected leather. The cushion sits on a veneer wood form.
The stool is 43 cm wide as well as deep and has a height of 76 cm.
