Acquire a timeless design icon without the standard manufacturer lead times.

As a specialized dealer in premium vintage and contemporary design, we are pleased to offer this original Knoll Barcelona Chair. Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 German Pavilion in Barcelona, this armchair exudes a simple elegance that epitomizes his famous maxim, “less is more.” It remains one of the most recognized and celebrated objects of the last century.

Condition & Material

This specific piece has served as an ex-display showroom model. Consistent with our high standards, it is in excellent, near-new condition. As an ex-display item, it may exhibit minor, superficial signs of handling. The pricing has been strategically adjusted to reflect this.

The chair is upholstered in premium Volo Leather in a beautiful Light Grey finish, paired with a hand-ground and hand-buffed polished chrome steel frame. The cushions are meticulously crafted, featuring 40 individual squares of leather that are hand-welted and hand-tufted with buttons from a single cowhide.
