As a seasoned gamer who has spent countless hours hunched over my gaming station, I can attest to the importance of a comfortable chair that doesn’t compromise on style or aesthetics. The Tugendhat Chair, reissued by Knoll, is an architectural marvel that effortlessly combines comfort and design.
Mies van der Rohe, who was an architect, interior designer, and scholar, had a unique talent for streamlining an object’s shape without making it feel overly sterile or impersonal. In terms of his furniture designs, the Tugendhat chair is one of the best examples showcasing this ability. This classic piece has been re-released by Knoll.
The Tugendhat Chair, created by Mies van der Rohe in 1929 – the same year as his Barcelona Chair design – boasts a substantial, unadorned seat (with optional armrests) for optimal comfort. Its sleek steel frame suspended from below offers flexibility in movement, enabling someone sitting on it to easily shift positions without compromising comfort. The chair’s distinctive back is formed by leather straps, contributing both to the Tugendhat’s aesthetics and offering additional seating support. As Jonathan Olivares, Knoll’s senior vice president of design, notes, “When you sit in the chair, there’s a subtle give, imbuing the design with a lively essence. It invites the user to interact intimately with the space, thereby shaping their overall experience of the interior.”
As a devoted admirer, I embarked on an exciting journey with Knoll to revisit the iconic Villa Tugendhat in Brno, Czech Republic – a masterpiece designed by Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, and the original home of the revered Tugendhat Chair. This architectural gem stands at the crossroads of design, art, nature, and life, making it a perfect setting to display the timeless elegance of the chair.
The Tugendhat Chair is available in dozens of materials and finishes via the Knoll webstore now. Prices range from $5,195-$7,695 USD.
