Item Description

Iconic MR10 chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, circa 1950, representing an early and highly important example of modernist furniture design. This chair retains its original flat wicker seat, a defining and historically correct feature consistent with examples held in major museum collections, and notably absent from many MR10 chairs currently on the market. Part of Mies van der Rohe’s pioneering tubular steel seating series, the MR10 exemplifies his philosophy of material honesty, structural clarity, and formal reduction. The cantilevered tubular steel frame achieves both visual lightness and exceptional comfort through precise engineering and disciplined proportions. The presence of the original flat wicker not only enhances the chair’s visual and tactile authenticity but also significantly reinforces its historical integrity and collectibility. A rare and museum-correct example of a cornerstone design of 20th-century modernism, suitable for serious collectors and curated interior or institutional settings.
