Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, 1929.
For the centennial of the founding of the Bauhaus, the MR Collection – which owes a great deal to the ideals of the artistic movement connected with the school – has been revised with new fabrics and leathers for the coverings. Structure: polished chrome finish tubular steel, with cushion support straps. The 242 model has a series of hooks behind the backrest for adjusting its height. Straps: leather-covered structural straps in black, white beige and dark brown, to match the selected cushion upholstery. The collection is available in a wide range of leathers. Collection includes standard and adjustable chaise lounges, chairs with arms and a stool.
Padding: removable cushions in foam, upholstered in leather or fabric. Note: MR has been produced with a special stamp on the structure to mark the 100th anniversary of Bauhaus.
