Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe (1886 - 1969)

Ludwig Mies was born in Aachen, Germany, on March 27, 1886, the son of a master stonemason. (He added Rohe, his mother's maiden name, and the Dutch form van der when he had established himself as an architect.) Although he had no formal training in architecture, he learned craftsmanship from his father and worked in architectural offices.

In 1927 he was catapulted into the international limelight after designing and patenting his famous steel-tubular cantilevered chair, the 'M20 Chair' compact, light weight and yet elegant its space saving comfort was immediately a worldwide success.
