Early Original Mies van der Rohe ‘MR10’ Chairs by Bononia, Pre-1968
1 available
Iconic set of four MR10 cantilever dining chairs in thick cognac saddle leather with tubular chromed steel frames. The leather is beautifully aged, showing natural patina and laced back detailing typical of Italian production from the 1970s.
Originally designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927 for the Weissenhof Estate, these licensed pieces stem from Bononia design, a subset of Gavina which existed until 1968 when it was acquired by Knoll, who hold the license to this day. The chairs are a pre-1968 production as they hold the original Bononia label.
Unlike much of the earlier production, where the leather tended to crack over time, these chairs feature solidly constructed seats and backrests, ensuring durability for many decades to come.
They remain in good vintage condition, displaying expected signs of age consistent with careful use. The cognac leather showcases a beautiful, well-preserved patina with subtle surface impressions. Minor surface cracks are visible on the reverse sides of the leather, though these are purely cosmetic and do not affect the chairs' structural integrity.
Sold as a set. Price is for the full set.
