Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

German/American 1886-1969

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a pioneering German-American architect and designer, celebrated for shaping modern architecture with his minimalist approach and the guiding principle “less is more.” Renowned for his innovative use of steel, glass, and open-plan spaces, Mies van der Rohe created iconic designs such as the Barcelona Pavilion, the Seagram Building, and the Farnsworth House, which continue to define the International Style. His work extended beyond architecture to furniture and interior design, exemplifying elegance through simplicity and precision. Mies van der Rohe’s designs are recognized worldwide for their enduring influence, timeless aesthetic, and visionary approach to modern living and built environments.
