The model 248LC MR chair is part of the MR Collection designed by modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the 1920s. This chair model features black leather cushions crafted in a series of quilted and seamed sections. The seamless tubular steel frame has a polished chrome finish. The cantilevered seat is intuitively accessible and ergonomic and gently bounces with the sitter’s movements.

The design of this iconic arm chair features clean lines, a simple profile and a lack of ornamentation that epitomizes the International Style. The MR Collection represents some of the earliest steel furniture designs by Mies van der Rohe. The material choice was inspired by fellow Bauhaus master Marcel Breuer, while the forms are thought to be modern derivatives of 19th century iron rocking chairs.

This versatile, timeless and highly collectible pair of chairs are perfect for home or office. KnollStudio logo and signature of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe are stamped into the frames. See less
