Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – B42 Cantilever Dining Chairs (Set of 4)

An elegant set of four B42 cantilever dining chairs, originally designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and produced by Tecta in Germany during the 1970s. A celebrated Bauhaus design, the B42 perfectly illustrates Mies’ philosophy of “less is more”, combining structural innovation with timeless elegance. Each chair features a gracefully curved tubular chrome-plated steel cantilever frame, creating the characteristic floating appearance while offering exceptional seating comfort through its subtle spring action. The seats and backrests are expertly handwoven in warm natural cane (rattan), providing a beautiful contrast to the polished steel and adding warmth, texture, and craftsmanship to the minimalist silhouette. Produced by Tecta, one of Germany’s most respected manufacturers of Bauhaus furniture, these chairs remain faithful to Mies van der Rohe’s original design while showcasing the exceptional quality for which Tecta is renowned. The iconic cantilever form appears remarkably light, yet is structurally robust and highly comfortable, making these chairs equally suited for everyday use or as collectible design pieces. Some of the chairs retain their original Tecta labels underneath, confirming their authenticity and provenance. The set presents in excellent vintage condition, with a beautifully preserved chrome finish and finely patinated woven cane that enhances their authentic character. A sophisticated and highly collectible ensemble that effortlessly complements both contemporary and classic interiors. Priced and sold as a set of 4 pieces. Measurements: H 78 x W49 x D 73 x SH 43 cm
