Pair Of Mr20 Leather And Chrome Armchairs From The 1970s, Designed By Mies Van Der Rohe

An elegant pair of cantilever armchairs based on the famous MR20 model designed in 1927 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. These armchairs perfectly exemplify the Bauhaus aesthetic, where the purity of the lines is combined with the technical innovation of bent chrome-plated steel tubing. The MR20 model is considered one of the first cantilever chairs to harness the natural flexibility of tubular steel, a true revolution in the history of modern furniture.

This pair, manufactured in Germany in the 1970s, features a chrome-plated steel frame with harmonious curves supporting a seat and backrest upholstered in reddish-brown (cognac) saddle leather with a beautiful patina from use. The fluid, airy forms provide remarkable comfort while maintaining a sense of visual lightness.

The chrome is in good condition with some signs of wear consistent with its age. The leather displays an authentic patina as well as slight surface cracking, which does not affect its durability or comfort. The piece is stable and ready to take its place in a contemporary, vintage, or collector’s interior.

The MR20 model remains one of Mies van der Rohe’s iconic creations and a staple of 20th-century design, still produced today in its original version.
