Knoll MR Lounge Chair in Suede

Product details

Seller's Notes:MR Lounge Chair designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Knoll. The chair has an engraved signature and KnollStudio insignia on the base. I'm unsure of the exact manufacture date but likely about 7 years old. It was used briefly as a showroom model, and then as a side chair in my home for the past 5 years when it was rarely sat in. Details: - upholstery in real suede (with some scuffing at front left of the seat, see photos) in a warm taupe color - base in polished chrome, with minor scratches - note the chair is quite heavy! approx. 26 lbs. It's been wonderful to own a piece of design history but this piece is no longer serving our family. I hope to pass it on to another owner who will appreciate it's unique, historic design!

Influenced by fellow Bauhaus master Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe quickly recognized the merits of tubular steel. Pairing the modern material with the classic form of nineteenth-century iron rocking chairs, he created the MR Lounge Chair in 1927. With its graceful curves and cantilevered structure, the chair takes a striking form that flexes to comfortably support the movements of the sitter. In 1948, Mies granted Knoll exclusive rights to produce his furniture, including the MR Series.
