Designer: Mies van der Rohe
Barcelona Chair & Ottoman
The Barcelona Chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe has steadily gained in appeal and status since its introduction at the 1929 International Exhibition in Barcelona. Heavy cowhide straps tautly support the cushions. The chromed steel frame is hand buffed to mirror-like perfection. The chair and stool cushions-welting and buttons included-come from a single Spinneybeck cowhide. To create the deep, precise tufting, individual panels of leather are cut, hand welted and hand tufted.
