Description

Pair of Mid Century Bauhaus Ludwig Mies van der Rohe MR20 Cantilever Lounge Armchairs in natural cane and chrome-plated tubular steel.

These classic Mid-Century Bauhaus MR20 Cantilever Lounge Armchairs, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe around 1927, exemplify the foundational principles of modern design. Crafted with a continuous, seamless tubular chrome frame, these chairs utilize a revolutionary cantilever form that allows for a slight, comfortable bounce and an elegant, floating appearance. 

The design emphasizes minimalism ("less is more") and functional form, featuring ergonomic seating and arms typically upholstered in natural materials such as cane, leather, or fabric. They are an iconic piece of 20th-century furniture design, highly prized for their blend of industrial material innovation and timeless aesthetic appeal.
