Produced by Knoll, the chairs are replicas of the original popular Brno model designed in 1930 by architect and Bauhaus director Mies van der Rohe. The Brno chairs were included in the collection that Mies van der Rohe used to furnish Villa Tugendhat in Brno and to this day they represent the apogee of elegant interior design. In all his designs, from grand skyscrapers to dining chairs, van der Rohe strove to reduce the object to its essential elements. Minimalist curves, refined details and superior materials coalesce into the breathtaking beauty of each furniture peace. The side table features three adjustable glass shelves.
