Created by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the German Pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona Exposition, the Barcelona chair features the pure compositional structure that now epitomizes Modern architecture. From the hand-buffed stainless steel or chromed frame to the individual leather squares carefully welted together, each Barcelona chair is a tribute to traditional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. Knoll is the only authorized and licensed manufacturer of the Barcelona Collection since 1953. Mies van der Rohe's signature is stamped into the frame of each piece to guarantee authenticity. Knoll has received trademark protection for the designs created by Mies van der Rohe, a Barcelona chair not manufactured by Knoll is a counterfeit.
Seat and back cushions adapt to fit the curve of the frame. Frame is welded in a single-piece construction from a single stainless steel block for ultimate durability. The stainless steel is hand-buffed or chrome plated to a mirror finish. Individual leather panels are cut, hand-welted and hand-tufted, and panels and buttons are crafted from a single hide.
