Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

1886

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture. Mies, like many of his post WW I contemporaries, sought to establish a new architectural style that could represent modern
times just as Classical and Gothic did for their own eras. He created an influential Twentieth-Century architectural style, stated with extreme clarity and simplicity. His mature buildings made use
of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define austere but elegant spaces.  He sought a rational approach that would guide the creative process of design, and is known
for his use of the aphorisms Less is more and God is in the details.


 


He approaced furniture design with the same approach, to design classics, such as the Barcelona chair and the Brno chair. His furniture is known for fine craftsmanship, a mix of traditional
luxurious fabrics like leather combined with modern chrome frames, and a distinct separation of the supporting structure and the supported surfaces, often employing cantilevers to enhance the feeling
of lightness created by delicate structural frames.
