50 Barcelona Chair revisited
I know I’ve written about the Barcelona chair before but considering it’s status and recent offers from various retailers I think it’s worth another mention.
As most people know, the Barcelona chair was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for his Pavilion at the International exhibition in Barcelona Spain. The chair was designed as seating for the King ans Queen while the stool was to serve as seating for the attendants.
For decades the Barcelona chair has been well out of reach of ordinary people and difficult to find/order even for those who had the money, but that has all changed. Today more than ever the Barcelona chair is attainable, still pricey but well worth the money.
Reproductions can be had for under $1000 USD but they will no doubt leave you disappointed and angry… and when you factor in buying/shipping and looking at a cheap Chinese knockoff, hardly worth the money. However, a REAL Barcelona chair will cost a bit more up front but you will be rewarded with the beauty, quality, comfort and value of an original.
It’s never been easier or more affordable to own this design classic. Knoll, the license holder and manufacturer of Van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair makes this classic available through a wide network of distributors.
DWR is one of the more reputable online retailers of fine design classics and a great place to start furniture shopping.
The Barcelona chair is available in a variety of colors and leather grades to suit your taste, décor and budget.
