Furniture label Knoff introduces a new addition to the MR collection with the new Mies van der Rohe furniture. The brand updates the Chaise Lounge and the Lounge Chair, as well as the MR stool. Using steel materials, Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer draw inspiration from the 19th century.
Specifically, they reference rocking chairs from the era to create a chair that does not have back legs. The duo then creates the new MR10 and the MR20 chairs, spotlighting the tubular steel looks. The capsule is also detailed with a wide variety of leather materials and color palette. This includes black and white for a monochromatic minimal look or a brighter 'Pumpkin,' 'Nutmeg,' and 'Toast.'
