Mr Table

The MR Table represents some of the earliest steel furniture designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Like everything the architect designed, this piece demonstrates how Mies could transform most simple configurations of lines into forms of grace and beauty.“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 Table displays an awareness of proportion, craftsmanship, and materiality. In 1948, Mies granted Knoll exclusive rights to produce his furniture, including the MR Series.?
