Exceptional and pristine Ludwig Mies van der Rohe MR 533 floating chair.
This iconic design, created by Mies van der Rohe, was inspired by the revolutionary concept of Dutch architect Mart Stam. In the early 1920s, Stam designed the first chair with a metal tube frame, without traditional legs, which was considered a groundbreaking step in furniture architecture. His innovative design allowed the chair to 'float' and was a response to the heavy, rigid furniture of the time. While Stam created the original design, it was Mies van der Rohe’s refinement that turned it into an iconic piece.
Mies patented the MR 533 design just three days before the Werkbund Exhibition, making it a pivotal and revolutionary moment in design history. These chairs are rare, beautifully crafted, and remain in perfect condition, making them a must-have for design enthusiasts and collectors of modern furniture.
