Ludwig Mies van der Rohe German-American, 1886-1969

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair is one of the most iconic and significant designs of all time. Interestingly, it was designed for the German pavilion at the 1929 Exposition in Barcelona, Spain. The idea was for a modern design but also to be symbol of the German royal family’s presence at the event. Almost a 100 years later its minimalist form conveys elegance, comfort and a clean design that will endure.

Our 2 chairs have the classic X shaped stainless steel frame and off white or cream-colored upholstery. One of the chairs has the identifying Knoll labels underneath as well as the Knoll logo fabric. Highly likely that the second chair which matches well, was ordered to go with the original Knoll chair and the Ottomans ordered at the same time. This color in the chair is appealing and desirable.
