{"title":"Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Knoll","description":"\u003cp\u003eLudwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) was a pioneering German-American architect and furniture designer, and one of the most influential figures of twentieth-century modernism. His furniture designs — most famously the Barcelona chair, along with the tubular Brno armchair and cantilevered MR and B42 chairs — embody his philosophy of “less is more,” with precise proportions, luxurious materials, and an almost architectural sense of structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese designs have been produced under license over the decades by manufacturers including Knoll, Gordon International, and Stendig — each piece here is clearly noted by maker and era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece in this collection has been personally sourced and vetted by MidCentury Masters.

Manufactured by Knoll-Associates, Inc. and upholstered at the Steinway Street facility in Long Island City, New York, these chairs date to approximately 1955–1962, as indicated by period labels and construction details. The chairs feature chrome-plated flat steel frames with correct early proportions, paired with original button-tufted leather cushions exhibiting a rich, naturally aged patina. The upholstery retains early production details, including wide leather loop attachments sewn directly to the cushions, wrapping around the frame — a hallmark of 1950s Knoll manufacture. The leather displays characteristic tonal variation, soft creasing, and hand-set buttons, consistent with mid-century craftsmanship. Both chairs present as a well-matched pair, with uniform materials, construction, and wear, suggesting they have remained together since original manufacture. The frames show appropriate age-related wear, while the leather has developed a warm, supple surface highly prized by collectors. An excellent example of one of the most iconic designs of the 20th century, this early pair embodies the material quality, handwork, and historical significance associated with Knoll’s early Barcelona chair production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_9415d43e\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-height\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHeight: 29.5 in (74.93 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-height\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-width\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWidth: 30 in (76.2 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-width\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-depth\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDepth: 27 in (68.58 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-depth\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-secondaryHeight\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eSeat Height: 17.5 in (44.45 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Knoll International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42827316461631,"sku":null,"price":13000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0157\/7730\/files\/Photoroom_20260106_195100.jpg?v=1768188678"}],"url":"https:\/\/midcenturymasters.com\/collections\/ludwig-mies-van-der-rohe-for-knoll.oembed","provider":"MidCentury Masters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
