About the Item

Acquire a true piece of design history with this exceptional pair of MR20 lounge chairs by the master of modernism, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Knoll. What makes this pair truly extraordinary is their provenance, originating from the personal collection of legendary American fashion designer Geoffrey Beene. The chairs' iconic cantilevered form is a triumph of Bauhaus principles, where polished tubular chrome creates a sense of architectural grace and lightness. The channel-tufted upholstery, in a striking and vibrant kelly green, adds a bold pop of personality to the minimalist design. These are not just chairs; they are a conversation piece, perfect for a collector's living room, a high-style office, or a chic studio. In great vintage condition, this pair shows a desirable, warm patina on the chrome and minor scuffs, wrinkles, and wear to the leather upholstery, all of which speak to their authentic journey from a celebrated collection. Each chair measures 24"W x 34"D x 33"H, with a comfortable seat height of 15.5". While quintessentially Bauhaus and International Style, their bold color allows them to integrate beautifully into a range of interiors, from strict Modernist or Minimalist to eclectic Hollywood Regency schemes. Don't miss the exceedingly rare opportunity to own a pedigreed pair of chairs from the estate of a fashion icon. Add this magnificent set by Mies van der Rohe to your collection today.
