Villa Tugendhat Chairs by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Villa Tugendhat in the Czech city Brno was commissioned by Greta and Fritz Tugendhat and built in 1929-1930. It was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. It is placed on the UNESCO List of World Cultural Heritage. Recently it has been completely renovated and it is now open to the public to visit.
Villa Tugendhat is the only example of Modern Architecture in the Czech Republic.
Exact replicas of the 1930 furniture are placed back in the interior.
The Tugendhat Chair and the Brno Chair were especially designed for this project together with Lilly Reich.

As Apartment Therapy rightfully mentions, most of the time we’re trying to keep chocolate off of our furniture. But once at a cake tasting hosted by Kreemart and American Patrons of the Tate, it was the other way around – a slightly miniaturized cake replica of the iconic Mies van der Rohe’s leather Barcelona day bed was offered as an edible treat for guests!..

Chairs in Words

You have undoubtedly seen these chairs before but it’s unlikely you’ve ever seen them like this: the iconic chairs Barcelona by Mies van der Rohe and LC-2 by Le Corbusier get an artsy makeover in the form of art prints by Etsy user Sarah Schmid.
