Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a German- American architect and interior designer. In the 1930s, Mies was the last director of the Bauhaus, a ground- breaking school of modernist art, design and architecture.
Mies sought to establish his own particular architectural style that could represent modern times. His buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define interior spaces. He is often associated with his fondness for the aphorisms "less is more" and "God is in the details".
Fully original, in very good condition and ready to be shipped. -
