184. A Pair of Mies Van der Rohe Tubular-Steel Armchairs

The German born Mies Van der Rohe (1886-1969) was a well known architect, also known for his simple and elegant furniture. This pair of polished stainless steel chairs with sage green suede cushions were produced by the well-known Knoll Furniture Company of Chicago. They reflect many features of his work including careful proportions and a functionalist design of austere elegance. These chairs are apprx 33-1/2" x 34" x 25-1/2". There is a sticker on the verso of one cushion indicating that these were completed on July 27, 1978 by the Knoll Furniture Company for the National City Bank of Chicago. On verso of the other chair is an inventory number sticker.
