Elegant: MR cantilever chair without armrests from Knoll International
The MR chair from Knoll International, designed by Mies van der Rohe, is a noble seat that you can offer your guests or business partners with a clear conscience. The MR chair was designed in 1927. There was extensive experimentation with cantilevered seats, which led to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's fundamental MR Collection between 1927 and 1929. The MR Collection by Mies van der Rohe adds style and elegance to your room.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, born in Germany in 1886, began his career 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 anticipated modernism. in 1912, Mies founded his own office in Berlin, later becoming a member of the Deutscher Werkbund and director of the Bauhaus. "I feel that it must be possible to harmonise the old and the new in our civilisation." - Ludwig Mies van der Rohe In 1938, he emigrated to the United States and settled in Chicago.
His buildings include the German Pavilion for the 1929 World's Fair in Barcelona, the Villa Tugendhat in Brno, Czechoslovakia, the Seagram Building, which he designed together with Philip Johnson, a collection of residential towers along Lakeshore Drive in Chicago and the campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology, where he was 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 - The belief in modern design
in 1938, Knoll International was founded by Hans and Florence Knoll, who utilised the creative genius of 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 field of interior design. Knoll is internationally recognised for creating workplace and home furniture that inspires, evolves and endures.
With its thoughtful, inventive products, Knoll caters to individual work styles and outlasts 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, Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy that modern furniture should complement architectural space, not compete with it. That's why Knoll uses modern design to connect people with their work, their lives, their world. The essence of it all: modern living and working with a contemporary approach, without losing the connection to the past.
