Ludwig Mies van der Rohe conceived the Krefeld Collection in 1927 as a complement to his brick and glass design for the Esters and Lange residences in Krefeld, Germany. (The buildings, now called the Krefeld Villas, have since been converted into a museum of post-war contemporary art.) Never put into production during Mies van der Rohe’s lifetime, Knoll® partnered with the Museum of Modern Art to resurrect the Krefeld Lounge Collection in 2004, basing the design on original drawings from the museum’s archive. Featuring Mies’ signature style, with clean lines and no excess ornamentation or overstuffing, these pieces have an inviting warmth that suits virtually any residential lounge space, as well as lobbies, reception areas, hotels and public spaces. The Krefeld Ottoman is manufactured by Knoll® according to the original and exacting specifications of the designer. Made in U.S.A.

 The modern city, with its towers of glass and steel, can be at least in part attributed to the influence of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Equally significant, if smaller in scale, is Mies' daring design of furniture, pieces that exhibit an unerring sense of proportion, as well as minimalist forms and exquisitely refined details. In fact, his chairs have been called architecture in miniature exercises in structure and materials that achieve an extraordinary visual harmony as autonomous pieces and in relation to the interiors for which they were designed. Mies van der Rohe began his career in architecture in Berlin, working as an architect first in the studio of Bruno Paul and then, like Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius, for Peter Behrens. In 1927, a housing project called Weissenhof Siedlung in Stuttgart, Germany, would bring these names together again. Widely believed to be one of the most notable projects in the history of modern architecture, it includes buildings by Gropius, Corbu, Behrens, Mies and others. Read more >
