Mies Van Der Rohe 242 Chaise Longue

The adjustable Model 242 MR Chaise Lounge was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927. Produced in 1980 by Knoll International in the USA, with Brown leather and a chrome steel frame. This Chaise Longue was designed by Mies van der Rohe in 1927 as part of his contribution to the Weissenhof exhibit in Stuttgart, Germany. The chaise features a high quality tan brown leather channel-upholstered cushion that rests atop a tubular steel frame. The cushion is attached to the frame with leather strips which wrap around the belting support straps and are secured with snap buttons. The seamless stainless steel tubular frame is bright and has no damage. The seat is adjustable with three hooks on the rear, giving three positions as pictured. The leather has developed a nice patina. Overall, this chaise is in good condition with light wear.
