Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Pair Of Black Leather Mies Van Der Rohe For Knoll Barcelona Chairs

Product Details

Product Description

This is a beautiful pair of Barcelona chairs by Mies Van der Rohe, created for Knoll International and upholstered in sleek black leather. The Knoll logo is elegantly engraved in the frame and can also be found at the bottom of the cushions. These chairs are in wonderful vintage condition, and are priced as a pair. Mies Van der Rohe's Barcelona chairs are some of the most iconic objects of the modern movement and are known for their simple elegance. Each piece is a testament to the marriage of contemporary design and masterful craftsmanship. These chairs were originally designed for the German Pavilion at the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. Mies drew inspiration from ancient Roman Campaign chairs and created a space that elevated industrial materials to a level of grace never before seen. The Barcelona chairs were created as a resting place for the King and Queen of Spain, and despite the fact that they never sat in them, these chairs have become a defining symbol of modern architecture. Florence Knoll, a friend and mentee of Mies, was granted production rights for these chairs in 1953 and they have been a signature of the Knoll brand ever since.
