About the Item

A pair of beautifully Proportioned occasional chairs, Designed by Renowned Designer & Architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe for the German Pavilion at the Barcelona Exhibition of 1929. These chairs date to the 1980s and finished in rare navy blue leather with polished steel frames. The chairs are in wonderful condition with only age related marks to the leather and frames in keeping with their age and use. (there are a button missing on each seat - but this does not effect the look of usage). Here is more about the designer from the MoMA website: “The Barcelona chair achieves the serenity of line and the refinement of proportions and materials characteristic of Mies Van Der Rohe's highly disciplined architecture. It is 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. The cantilevered seat and the back of the original chairs were upholstered in white kid leather with welt and button details. Mies Van Der Rohe designed this chair for his German Pavilion at the Barcelona Exposition of 1929. The Pavilion was the site of the inaugural ceremony for the German exhibits at the exposition, and the Spanish king was to preside. It had to be an "important chair, a very elegant chair," according to the architect. "The government was to receive a king. The chair had to be . . . monumental. In those circumstances, you just couldn't use a kitchen chair." Although only two Barcelona chairs were made for the German Pavilion, the design was put into production and became so popular that, with the exception of one sixteen-year period, it has been manufactured since 1929.”.
