Barcelona daybed by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe Bauhaus for Knoll, 1970

Barcelona daybed, designed by ludwig mies van der rohe in 1929 and manufactured by knoll international in 1972. Made of chrome steel and leather. Leather in excellent condition. The barcelona chair embodies functional minimalism. It was made in 1929 during mies' german years. Its simplistic design, made of steel, leather and foam, exudes elegance and sophistication. Meticulously handcrafted, this chair features an ergonomic frame, delicately cut and hand-sewn leather cushions, and a button-quilted cushion. Whether the original model with stainless steel bolts and bovine leather or the later version with a seamless metal frame and ivory-colored pigskin, each piece radiates timeless beauty. Inspired by the ancient etruscan "sella curulis" chair, mies has reimagined this historic piece with a modern twist. The barcelona chair immediately became a sensation and found its way to the 1929 international exhibition in spain, where it won over spanish royalty. Since its creation, the barcelona chair has continued to conquer the hearts of design lovers. Knoll, a renowned furniture company, has been producing this exquisite creation since 1930. Its clean industrial materials and minimalist aesthetic perfectly complement mies' architectural projects, including the iconic barcelona pavilion.
