Mies van der Rohe is one of the pioneers of Modernism. It is without debate that this innovative architect and designer was a pivotal figure in the Modernist Movement.
Mies van der Rohe made great waves in the late 1920’s with his “Refined Comfort” design philosophy. His combined use of the modern; stainless steel, new technologies in welding and metalwork, with the traditional; opulent leather, tailored upholstery, to create truly innovative and exceptionally beautiful pieces. His chair designed for the 1929 International Exhibition in Barcelona, Spain stands to be the iconic piece that many agree embodies all of his principals and philosophies in one masterpiece of design.
It was also during the 1920’s that Mies was the acting Director of the Bauhaus School, furthering the discourse on modernist design and developing the careers of some of the greatest designers and artists in history. In the late 1930’s Mies escaped pre war Germany and came to the United States. His career and reputation continued as he developed an internationally renowned architecture practice.
