Time to save up your pretty pennies – your favorite Bauhaus classics just got a
stunning makeover. Knoll has just launched three ultra-matte finishes – white,
black, and an archival dark red – across four of its collections designed by two
iconic greats: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer. In these new
colorways, the reimagined pieces make a new, bold statement with the same
innovative spirit of the Bauhaus era.

These tubular steel collections include the MR Chair and MR Tables by Mies, as
well as Breuer’s Wassily Chair, Cesca Chairs and Stools, and Laccio Tables. They
were all designed when Mies and Breuer were both at the Bauhaus institute,
unaware of their impact on this significant design movement. For the first time
ever, these pieces are being commercially produced in these striking new
finishes.

Each color has a deep connection to the Bauhaus: the dark red is a nod to a hue
originally offered on the MR chair, while the white and black shades are classic
Bauhaus choices known for their ability to manipulate light and accentuate
geometry.

To celebrate this vibrant new chapter, Knoll collaborated with photographer Adam
Jason Cohen to showcase the updated pieces in a photoshoot across four Los
Angeles locations, each celebrated for their curved architecture. The modern
take on Bauhaus design places the iconic pieces in abstract urban settings,
reflecting the movements ideals while giving them a contemporary refresh through
color.

Wassily Chairs

Jonathan Olivares, Knoll’s SVP of Design, explained the decision to introduce
these finishes, saying, “When these pieces were first made by workshops in
Germany their frames were painted, giving us a precedent to build on and license
to take on the recoloring. Seeing the tubular structures in white, black, and
red, the way these colors interact with the seats and backrests, completely
changes our perception of the work and allows us to see them with fresh eyes.”
