Iconic designer and architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe had certainly left his mark on the international design world by the time he immigrated to the United States in 1938, having already served as the Director of the Bauhaus. A leading modernist architect and furniture designer, Mies elevated industrial-age materials to an art form. Any modern design aficionado can most certainly recognize a Mies van der Rohe piece. In addition to the elegant, iconic Barcelona collection, Mies van der Rohe also designed the streamlined MR collection, Brno Chairs and Krefeld collection of tables and chairs.
