 Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (born Maria Ludwig Michael Mies, March 27, 1886 – August 17, 1969) was a German architect.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, along with Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier, is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture. Mies, like many of his post war contemporaries, sought to establish a new architectural style that could represent modern times just as classical and gothic did for their own eras. He created an influential twentieth-century architectural style, stated with extreme clarity and simplicity. [More below product...]

His mature buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define austere but elegant spaces. He developed the use of exposed steel structure and glass to enclose and define space, striving for an architecture with a minimal framework of structural order balanced against the implied freedom of open space. He called his buildings "skin and bones" architecture. He sought a rational approach that would guide the creative process of architectural design, and is known for his use of the aphorisms “less is more” and "God is in the details".
The self-educated Mies painstakingly studied the great philosophers and thinkers of the past and of the day. He adopted an ambitious lifelong mission to create not only a new style, but also a solid intellectual foundation for a new architecture that would represent a new epoch just as Gothic architecture did for the middle ages. He applied a disciplined design process guided by rational thought. But the world-wide economic depression and the rise of the Nazis after 1933 interrupted his quest for an Architecture of the twentieth century.
Mies designed modern furniture pieces using new industrial technologies that have become popular classics, such as the Barcelona chair and table, and the Brno chair. His furniture is known for fine craftstmanship, a mix of traditional luxurious fabrics like leathercombined with modern chrome frames, and a distinct separation of the supporting structure and the supported surfaces, often employing cantilevers to enhance the feeling of lightness created by delicate structural frames.
