Description:
A Mies van der Rohe MR20 armchair, designed in 1927, Germany. Cantilevered chrome-plated tubular steel armchair with curved armrests and leather seat and backrest. 'One of the most startling innovations in modern furniture - or so it seemed to contemporaries - was the development of the modern cantilever chair. Because the seat floated in mid-air without any visible means of support it signalled to many the triumph of the designer over the laws of nature. It is said that people were afraid to sit on this chair when it was first introduced because they feared it would collapse.', height 85 cm, width 48 cm, depth 72 cm
