The story behind the modernist cantilever chair is filled with accusations and legal battles. Designers like Mart Stam, Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich and Marcel Breuer were all involved in the early development of cantilever chairs but who came up with the idea? Stam, Breuer, a nowadays forgotten teacher at the Cologne School of Art or possible a Czech car manufacturer? Feel free to ask us any questions in the comment section below!
