One of my favourite chairs ever! The Barcelona Chair. Created by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the German Pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona Exposition, it epitomises the very essence of modern design. So much so, it won the Museum of Modern Art Award in 1977. The original licensed design, manufactured by KnollStudio, are available in more than 500 Spinneybeck leather colors in 20 different qualities with panels and buttons all being crafted from a single hide.
It's also available in kids size too, from All Modern. The child's Barcelona chair and stool are 80% scale of the original and only available with a chrome frame.
The classic black is wonderful but my heart yearns for the white version. It's quite simply breathtaking.
