A true icon of 20th-century design, the Brno> by Knoll armchair, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1930 for the famous Villa Tugendhat in Brno, embodies the essence of modernism with timeless elegance. Recognizable by its sleek silhouette, perfectly balanced lines, and exceptional craftsmanship, this cantilever chair offers a slightly supple seat that naturally follows the body’s movements. With no visible connections between the seat and the frame, the Brno Chair reveals a remarkable formal purity, a hallmark of Mies van der Rohe’s work. Available with or without armrests, in several frame finishes, and upholstered in fabric or leather, it combines comfort, sophistication, and architectural precision. Awarded the New York Museum of Modern Art Prize in 1977 and the Stuttgart Design Center Prize in 1978, this iconic model remains an absolute benchmark in contemporary furniture produced by Knoll.
