About the Item

An iconic expression of Bauhaus design, this elegant lounge chair was conceived by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Thonet and remains one of the most celebrated cantilever chair designs of the 20th century. Defined by its sculptural tubular chrome frame and suspended seat, the chair exemplifies Mies' philosophy of combining architectural purity with exceptional comfort. This example features a beautifully polished chrome frame paired with its highly desirable original black leather upholstery, complete with the characteristic stitched and laced detailing to the reverse. The floating cantilever construction creates a gentle flex, offering a remarkably comfortable seating experience while showcasing the technical innovation that made the design revolutionary. Recognised as a landmark of modernist furniture design, Mies van der Rohe's work is represented in the collections of leading museums worldwide, including the Art Institute of Chicago. Whether placed in a contemporary interior or alongside a curated collection of design classics, this rare Thonet example is both a functional work of art and a highly collectible piece of design history. Dimensions 80 × 54.3 × 85.1 cm (L × W × H cm) We ship internationally, tracked and insured.
