Cantilever “MR10” Chair – Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1927)

The MR10 is one of the most iconic chairs from the Bauhaus period and was designed in 1927 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The chair is a textbook example of modernist design: elegant, constructive and innovative. The chromed steel tube in combination with the woven cane gives this chair a light, floating appearance.

Thanks to its cantilever design without rear legs, the MR10 offers a surprisingly comfortable seat, with the suspension of the frame contributing to the seating comfort. This chair looks great at a dining table, in a reading corner or as a statement piece in a modern interior.
