Description
Inspired by Stam's idea, he designed the first flexible cantilevered chair in the history of design in 1927. The model was produced both with and without armrests under the names MR 20 and MR 10, respectively. The tubular steel furniture of the 1920s represents a rejection of the conventional, overladen bourgeois interior of the time, filled with massive furniture and decorative trinkets. The transparency and structural clarity of tubular steel furniture embodies a new ideal in architecture and design: interior space flooded with natural light.

Designer
Mies van der Rohe, 1927
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) was a pioneering German-American architect and designer, widely regarded as one of the masters of modern architecture. Known simply as Mies, he sought to express the spirit of the modern age through clarity, simplicity, and precision.
His design philosophy was defined by the famous phrases “less is more” and “God is in the details.” Mies emphasized open space, minimal structure, and the honest use of materials such as steel and glass.
