Mies van der Rohe: Möbel und Bauten in Stuttgart, Barcelona, Brno examines the work of one of the most influential architects and designers of the twentieth century, combining his architectural projects with his furniture designs. The book focuses on three major European projects: the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart, the German Pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition and the Villa Tugendhat in Brno. These projects illustrate Mies van der Rohe's development towards a radically modern architectural language based on clarity, proportion, structure, materials and open space. Particular attention is given to the close relationship between architecture, interiors and furniture. The publication documents the development of Mies's furniture designs and their connection with industrial production and modern design. Richly illustrated with photographs, plans and other documentary material, the catalogue provides an attractive and informative overview of Mies van der Rohe's European work and is especially appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of modern architecture, Bauhaus and twentieth-century furniture design. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) was one of the leading figures of twentieth-century modern architecture and a major influence on the development of modernist design. Alongside his architectural work, he developed important furniture designs, often in collaboration with Lilly Reich, that became icons of modern furniture.
