Villa Tugendhat Living Room, Brno, Czech Republic

The spacious Villa Tugendhat living room represents the absolute pinnacle of modernist open-plan living. Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, this composition showcases the seamless connection between the iconic interior, noble materials, and the surrounding nature outside the expansive glass windows.

Architectural Highlights & Design Icons

• The Onyx Wall: Glowing softly in the background is the famous wall crafted from translucent honey-yellow Moroccan onyx, which dramatically changes its appearance when backlit by the setting sun.

• Iconic Furniture Pieces: In the foreground sits the striking red Tugendhat chaise longue (MR50), accompanied by the green leather Barcelona chairs and white Brno chairs—all custom-designed specifically for this residence by Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich.

• Steel & Glass Framework: Polished chrome-plated steel pillars support the structure, allowing for an uninterrupted open space lined with floor-to-ceiling glass walls that connect the living hall with the garden and adjacent conservatory.

Artist’s Note: Photographing the interior of Villa Tugendhat is allowed strictly for personal use, and a photo pass is required upon entering for the tour of the Villa. No flash or tripod are allowed.
