A Masterpiece
Barcelona Chair
Since its rise to the throne of the Spanish royal couple it has received a lot of attention: the Barcelona Chair. It has been named in accordance with the city which made it great and was designed by the well-known architect Van der Rohe on occasion of the World Exhibition in Spain in 1929. The chair soon established itself as a famous piece of furniture – until today it has developed into a popular piece of seating furniture in the lounges of many companies and a status symbol in private houses all over the world. Following the motto of its creator “less is more” the Barcelona Chair will be proof of your excellent taste which is subdued but cannot be overlooked. Not many other pieces of furniture have reached such a high awareness level or comparable worldwide sales figures over such a long period of time.
The designer built the original with a slightly curved frame made of hand-welded steel band which has been chromed afterwards. But twenty years later the architect has revised his design, when new technologies made the production of the frames in one piece possible. Even nowadays companies like BestofBauhaus.com are still producing the basic frames of van der Rohe´s chair, made of chrome polished stainless steel. The production of the sophisticated button upholstery, consisting of individual squares of genuine aniline calfskin also corresponds with the original design of the designer.
Although many decades have gone by since its first big presentation, this exquisite object still is a statement for contemporary design, without neglecting its original purpose of use: to be your comfortable chair.
Having become a real classic, which is still trendy, it can now also become a in your living room, as the Barcelona Chair still [spin]is one of the most exquisite pieces of modern chair design.

That’s some lovely hand tailoring on the leather upholstery. It looks like you can get it in other colors than basic black upon request. That would look stunning in a deep red with a powder coated black steel frame. Definitely an up-scale seating option for a reception area.
