Designer: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Designed: 1929

The Barcelona chair was designed by Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 World Exposition in Barcelona. It was a custom design created for the King and Queen of Spain – expensive to make and not easy to mass-produce. It has a chrome plated steel frame or chrome with a smooth appearance and leather straps that suspend leather-covered cushions. Comes in various colors and is almost completely hand made by the sole trademarks owner, Knoll.
