Rohe. Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe made
an indelible impression on the world
of "Modern Classic" architecture

Inspired from
the Day Bed designed by Mies Ludwig
van der Rohe 1886 - 1969
Mies
Ludwig van der Rohe was a contemporary
of Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius (founder
of the Bauhaus School), He was also
one of the original instigators of the
Modernist Movement.
Around 1900, modernism and minimalism
were coming together in the work of
Mies and his other artists, while being
actively promoted by both the Bauhaus
and an organization called the 'Novembergruppe'.
The famous 'Barcelona X Chair' chair
was born, which was a design dedicated
to the Spanish Royalty, in honor of
the 1929 official opening of the German
Pavilion at the Barcelona International
Exhibition. Derived from his interpretation
of an Egyptian royal folding chair and
a Roman folding footstool, this design
became an icon of this movement.
