Mies van der Rohe Brno Chairs: Gravity, Defied
«Gravity, Defied»
Designed in 1930 by Mies van der Rohe for the Tugendhat House in Brno, Czech Republic, the Brno Chair broke conventions with its cantilevered frame—eliminating rear legs and capturing the essence of Bauhaus minimalism in a single sweeping curve.
This set, produced by Gordon International, honors the original with its polished flat bar steel and crisp architectural lines. Upholstered in original white leather, each chair has been gently cleaned and touched up, preserving its integrity while restoring its presence.
The chrome shines with striking clarity, bearing only light wear consistent with age—testament to their enduring quality and timeless appeal.
More than just seating, these chairs are statements—bold, sculptural, and unmistakably modern.
Modernism, Perfected
Few chairs capture the soul of modern design like the Brno. Created by Mies van der Rohe in 1930, its seamless steel frame and cantilevered form are as bold today as they were nearly a century ago—a study in purity, balance, and architectural grace.
This set of four, produced by Gordon International, stays remarkably true to the original vision. The white leather upholstery is original, professionally cleaned and touched up to honor its vintage character. Polished chrome frames gleam, with light wear that whispers of decades well-lived.
«Effortlessly elegant, endlessly relevant—these chairs are not just icons of design. They are the kind of pieces that elevate a room simply by being in it.»
