Influenced by Marcel Breuer's use of tubular steel, Mies van der Rohe quickly recognised the compatibility of this revolutionary material with the contemporary design ethos. Inspired by the lines of tubular iron rockers designed in Europe during the mid-19th century, Mies incorporated a new material and a new technology in the use of the cantilever principle. Mies van der Rohe used the springiness of tubular steel (cantilever) as an element in the chair's construction and designed the first free-swinger in the history of design.
