One of the most recognised objects of the last century, and an icon of the modern movement, the Barcelona Chair is a tribute to the marriage of design and craftsmanship. A signature KnollStudio design, produced to Mies' original specifications. Exclusive manufacturing and sales rights were accorded to Knoll by the designer in 1953. The KnollStudio logo and the signature of Mies van der Rohe are stamped into the base of each chair. Polished chrome structure hand-buffed and hand-finished to a mirror finish. The cushions are upholstered with 40 individual panels cut, hand-welted and hand-tufted from a single hide.
Seat and back cushions adapt to fit the curve of the frame. Side and edges of upholstery straps are dyed to match specified upholstery colour. Available in a range of Spinneybeck leathers. The frame is available polished chrome. This product is available with foam that meets requirements for BS5852. Museum of Modern Art Award, 1977
