Poltronova MIES Natural rubber armchair with footstool

The Mies armchair was born in 1969 from the idea of using a strip of para rubber or India rubber –strong, elastic materials– as a seat.‎ The structure, a triangle in chrome–plated metal, brings out the purity of the silhouette.‎ The headrest and footrest–lamp cushions are in ponyskin.‎ The name emphasizes the similarity of the structure to the projects of Mies van der Rohe, as a tribute to the great master who died that same year.‎ With its rigorous geometric design, the Mies armchair sums up the philosophy of Archizoom Associati, leading figures of the Italian Radical movement starting in the second half of the 1960s.‎ Materials: Frame: chrome-plated metal Seat: natural rubber sheet that deforms in response to the weight of the body Headrest/footrest: ponyskin Colors: Frame: metal Seat: light brown Headrest/footrest: white-brown Bulbs: 3 x LED E14 3W [max] 3000K Further info from manufacturer on MIES Poltronova
