Brno Chair The Brno chair (model number MR50) is a modernist cantilever chair designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1929-1930 for the bedroom of the Tugendhat House in Brno, Czechoslovakia. One of the first cantilevered chair designs to be produced, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Brno Chair (1930) is the most elegant of its kind. The mirror-finish chromed tubular steel frame is fluidly bent into a sinuous single-piece form, which gracefully supports the sitter while seemingly defying gravity. A lengthy triple-plate chroming process ensures a resilient, rust-resistant mirror-quality finish. The padded seat is upholstered in supple full grain Spinneybeck¿ leather for long-enduring appearance retention and ease of maintenance-two especially important features for offices and waiting areas. The manageable weight of the design also allows for use around dining and conference tables. The Brno Chair is a registered trademark of Knoll, Inc. Made in Italy.   [ Back ]
