Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) was a German-American architect and designer, among the most influential figures of the 20th century and a central figure of modernism. A proponent of the maxim “less is more,” he developed an architectural and design language grounded in purity of form, precision of materials, and structural clarity.
As director of the Bauhaus, Mies van der Rohe later emigrated to the United States, where he developed a defining phase of his career and played a decisive role in establishing the International Style within the American context. This movement defined a new architectural language based on rationality, the absence of ornament, and the universality of form, profoundly influencing modern architecture on a global scale.
His furniture pieces reflect these principles, combining technical innovation, visual lightness, and a rigorous, timeless aesthetic. The chairs designed by Mies van der Rohe have become icons of modern design, remaining essential references to this day.
