Four Barcelona Chrome and Leather Chairs and Ottomans by Mies van der Rohe

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe
Offered by: Blend Interiors

Description
Matching set of four original chrome and leather International Style Barcelona chairs and ottomans by Mies van der Rohe for Knoll.

The Barcelona chair and ottoman achieve the serenity of line and the refinement of proportions and materials characteristic of Mies van der Rohe's highly disciplined architecture. They are supported on each side by two chrome-plated, flat steel bars. Seen from the side, the single curve of the bar forming the chair's back and front legs crosses the S-curve of the bar forming the seat and back legs, making an intersection of the two. This simple shape derives from a long history of precedents, from ancient Egyptian folding stools to nineteenth-century neoclassical seating.

Rare as a set / sold as a set.

Dimensions listed are for the chairs. The ottomans are 24 in. wide x 23 in. deep x 15 in. tall / seat height.
