MIES VAN DER ROHE

Born in Aachen, Germany, in 1886, Mies van der Rohe originally trained as an architect. He went on to become one of the leading exponents of modern architecture and was director of the Bauhaus from 1929 to 1933. In 1937 he moved to Chicago to teach at the city’s Armour Institute of Technology. He designed some seminal buildings in America before he died in 1969.

He sought to create a rational approach that would guide the creative process of architectural design, and is known for his use of the aphorisms "less is more" and "God is in the details".Hois collection of Barcelona & Brno chairs, tables & benches are probably the best known and loved of all of the 'classic furniture' designs.

Go Modern sources Mies van der Rohe inspired furniture from both Italy (our Barcelona chairs have been called 'The best I have ever seen' by customers & can be made in almost ANY colour), or China (the best of the Chinese, we wont compromise on quality) and we know only too well how vastly different Barcelona chairs can be in quality - which is why our photos are photos of OUR actual Barcelonas, we offer a 7 day no quibble return policy (& dont charge for shipping, and we have them on display in our London showroom.

When it comes to Barcelona style chairs its a jungle out there, which is why we do what we can to show you the product you will actually be sent, & allow you to return it if you are not happy!
