3 MR10 steel and rattan chairs by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Thonet, 1960s










Three MR10 chairs by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe produced by Thonet. They feature a chrome-plated tubular steel frame and an original rattan or cane seat. Produced in Germany in the 1960s. The 'MR10' is one of the most iconic design chairs of all time, first designed in 1927 and exhibited at the Die Wohnung exhibition in Stuttgart. People were amazed for two reasons: its chrome-plated tubular steel frame and its weight, all supported by front legs. The steel finish contrasts with the straw seat and backrest, creating a streamlined chair. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) was a German-born American architect whose rectilinear forms, realised in elegant simplicity, made him one of the most important and influential architects of the 20th century.
