Manufactured by Tecta in Germany circa 1960, these chair are a testament to the enduring popularity of Mies van der Rohe’s innovative and timeless designs.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886 – 1969) was a German-American architect and one of the pioneers of modern architecture. Along with Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Frank Lloyd Wright, he sought to establish a new architectural style that could represent Modern Times just as Classical and Gothic did for their own eras. His mature buildings made use of modern materials such as Industrial steel and plate glass to define interior spaces. He strove toward an architecture with a minimal framework of structural order balanced against the implied freedom of free-flowing open space. He called his buildings “skin and bones” architecture. Owning a piece of furniture designed by Mies van der Rohe is like owning a piece of history. These MR10 chairs are not only beautiful but also functional, and will add a touch of elegance to any space. Don’t miss the chance to make them yours and experience the enduring appeal of Mies van der Rohe’s iconic designs. _____ MR10 chair designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927.
