One of the most recognised objects of the last century, and an icon of the modern movement, the Barcelona Chair’s simple elegance and graceful profile epitomise Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's most famous maxim: less is more. From the hand-buffed stainless or chrome frame to the individual leather squares carefully welted together, each Barcelona piece is a tribute to the marriage of modern design and exceptional craftsmanship.
Originally designed for the Weimar Republic’s Pavilion for the Barcelona Industrial Exposition of 1929.
Features Mies van der Rohe's signature and Knoll's logo engraved on one leg, to ensure authenticity.
Available in the 'relaxed' version, utilising a more elastic upholstery to provide an even higher sitting comfort.
Also available in other leather colours and finishes. To enquire please contact our in store team, or advice line: 0333 121 1915, Option 1.
