Set of 6 MR10 dining chairs — Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, attributed to Knoll, circa 1970

Designed in 1927, the MR10 is one of the founding objects of 20th-century furniture design and a reference point for Bauhaus design. Mies van der Rohe's cantilever construction — a tubular steel loop that replaces the traditional four-legged structure — was a radical proposal at the time, translating engineering logic into pure formal elegance, distinguishing this model from earlier American patents by making the large semi-circular front skids both a formal and functional feature, aimed at making the chair pleasantly resilient. This set of 6 features the MR10 variant without armrests in chrome tubular steel with a black leather laced seat and backrest — a constructive detail that is both structural and decorative, and one of the distinctive features of the early quality productions of this design. The chrome retains good reflectivity with slight wear here and there. The overall structure is excellent, with the leather showing a patina consistent with age (see photos). Dimensions (HxWxD): 79cm X 50cm X 65cm - Seat height: 44cm. The chairs are attributed to Knoll International, which holds the authorised production licence for the MR series since the post-war period. Unfortunately, the labels have disappeared over time. Sold as a set of 6, but other MR10 chairs are available: we have 2 additional pairs available (10 in total). Please feel free to contact us to purchase more than 6 pieces or for any questions regarding this lot. The price is for the set of 6.
