Barcelona Chair

The Barcelona Chair was designed by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe for the German Pavilion exhibit in Barcelona

The Barcelona Chair was designed to be used as a throne for the king and queen of Spain while visiting the German Pavilion exhibit.

… it was an instant success. Amongst others, the Barcelona Chair (also Barcelona stool, table, daybed, etc.) is an example of Van Der Rohe’s design genius.

Originally constructed of high quality Leather and Chromed steel, many of today’s reproductions use stainless steel instead of chrome. In my opinion, nothing can match the finish of a high quality chromed steel; the shine, smooth finish and seamless look are fantastic!

This is one of my personal favourites, I simply love the clean and simple lines of the Barcelona Chairs and the entire collection from the German Pavilion… simple, elegant and unmatched quality make this article a must have for all Bauhaus lovers.
