Immerse yourself in the world of original and exquisite Design at Timeless Art, where each piece is carefully selected for its unique charm and elegance.
Four exceptional and pristine Ludwig Mies van der Rohe MR 533 floating chairs.
Designed by Mies van der Rohe, the MR 533 was inspired by Dutch architect Mart Stam’s revolutionary concept. In the early 1920s, Mart Stam designed the first 'floating chair,' using a metal tube frame without traditional legs. His innovative idea was a response to the heavy and rigid designs of the time and is considered a significant step in the development of modern furniture design. However, Stam’s design only gained true recognition when Mies van der Rohe refined it further, making the MR 533 an iconic piece.
These chairs were made by Thonet in the 1980s. Mies van der Rohe patented the design just three days before the Werkbund Exhibition, making it a groundbreaking moment in design history. These chairs are rare, beautifully crafted, and remain in perfect condition, making them a valuable addition for design enthusiasts and collectors.
