Mid century Bauhaus MR Coffee Table by Mies van der Rohe for Knoll Studio —rare Smoked Blue Glass Top 1980s Italy
An iconic piece of modernist design history — this elegant coffee table was originally designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927 and produced by Knoll Studio in the 1980s. This particular version stands out with its rare smoked blue glass surface, adding a unique and sophisticated twist to its timeless Bauhaus form.
Mies van der Rohe, a pioneer of modern architecture and design, believed in the philosophy of “less is more.” This table perfectly embodies that vision — offering sleek, functional beauty without unnecessary embellishment.
The frame and legs are crafted from tubular and rectangular steel, seamlessly welded for a clean and uninterrupted silhouette. The entire frame is polished to a mirror-like chrome finish, enhancing its minimalist appeal. Authenticity is guaranteed by the KnollStudio logo and Mies van der Rohe’s signature, both elegantly stamped into the steel frame.
