AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Knoll Barcelona Chair, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1929, is an icon of modern design. It is distinguished by a hand-polished, mirror-finished chromed steel frame, leather support straps, and leather cushions formed from hand-stitched panels with buttons, embodying the 'less is more' principle.

Structure and Materials

Frame: Harmonic steel or stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, hand-welded and hand-polished. Distinctive X-shaped form.
Support: Thick leather straps coordinated to the color of the leather, attached to the frame to support the cushions.
Cushions: Polyurethane foam padding of variable density.
Upholstery: 40 individual leather panels (for the chair) cut and hand-stitched, finished with covered buttons.

Knoll Authenticity Details

Signature and Logo: The KnollStudio logo and the designer Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's signature are embossed directly onto the steel frame.

Cushion Craftsmanship: The leather panels come from the same exact cut of material to ensure uniform grain and color.
