mr rattan side chair
by Mies Van Der Rohe, from Knoll
mr rattan side chair
Design Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, 1927/2018
Tubular steel frame, natural cane
Made by Knoll
"Architecture is a language, when you are very good you can be a poet." -Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe
Reintroduced in 2018, the MR Chair with a rattan seat expands the Knoll MR Collection, which represents some of the earliest steel furniture designs by Mies van der Rohe. The frame material was inspired by fellow Bauhaus master Marcel Breuer, while the form is thought to be a modern derivative of 19th century iron rocking chairs. The MR Collection of tubular steel lounge furniture includes the MR chairs, chaise lounge, and adjustable chaise lounge.
Knoll is the only authorized and licensed manufacturer of the Van der Rohe collection. Mies van der Rohe's signature is stamped into the frame of each piece to guarantee authenticity.
After working in his father's stonemasonry business and engaging furniture apprenticeships, Mies established his own office in Berlin, and later became a member of the Deutscher Werkbund and Director of the Bauhaus. He immigrated to the United States in 1938, setting up a practice in Chicago where he persued his architecture career and later became the director of architecture at the Institute of Technology in Chicago.
The MR rattan chair features a handwoven natural cane seat protected with a clear lacquer finish (seat should be treated every three months with water & glycerin to prevent drying). Frame is polished chrome and includes four molded clear plastic glides with twin-pin snap-in construction. The KnollStudio logo and signature of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe are stamped on each piece.
19.25" w | 27.25" d | 31" h | seat: 18" h | 17 lbs.
Also available as an armchair

Mies Van Der Rohe
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886 – 1969) is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture alongside Le Corbusier 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 buildings made use of modern materials and he strived towards a minimal framework of structural order balanced against the implied freedom of free-flowing open space. He is often associated with the aphorisms "less is more" and "God is in the details".
Hans Knoll founded the Knoll company in New York City in 1938 one year after immigrating from Germany. He hired Florence Schust who had worked for Gropius and Breuer and the two were married in 1946. Knoll would triumph thanks to impressive international contacts, gaining exclusive rights to the works of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe including the Barcelona Chair. Knoll commissioned Eero Saarinen to design the Tulip chair. Artists such as Harry Bertoia, Jens Risom, and Isamu Noguchi also collaborated with Knoll.
