AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Barcelona is the armchair signed by KnollStudio, made according to the original specifications of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. In 1953 Knoll acquired the production rights to the Barcelona Collection. The Barcelona chair is also available in a children’s version. The KnollStudio logo and the signature of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe are impressed on the frame of each individual chair.
The frame in chromed flat steel boasts an artisanal finish and polishing that give it the characteristic mirror-like effect. 40 panels cut and sewn by hand, with button tufting. The panels come from the same leather cut. The cushions are molded foam with variable density wrapped in polyester fibers to provide greater comfort and are upholstered exclusively in high-quality leather. The seat and backrest are joined by a removable fastening element; the seat is connected to the frame with straps.
Upholstery in a wide range of leathers. The rubber used for this product complies with BS5852 regulation.
Museum of Modern Art Award, 1977.
