Mr Stool

A simple piece that can be used as a seat or an ottoman, the MR Stool is constructed with a tubular steel frame and thick channel-tufted leather cushion.“Form is not the aim of our work,” wrote Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. “It is the result.” This philosophy, paired with his less-is-more approach to architecture, resulted in an iconic collection of steel furniture. Designed in 1927, the pure and simple MR Stool displays an awareness of proportion, craftsmanship, and materiality. In 1948, Mies granted Knoll exclusive rights to produce his furniture, including the MR Series.?
