Knoll - Ludwig Mies van der Rohe - Armchair - Barcelona chair - Leather, Steel - Black

I am selling a Knoll Barcelona armchair, produced in the late 2000s, in excellent condition, with hallmarks on the legs, branded lining, and tags with serial number, complete with certificate of origin and guarantee.

Hand-polished chrome structure finished with a mirror effect. Support straps and cushions in high-thickness leather, attached with aluminum rivets. The cushions are padded with 40 individual panels, cut, welded, and hand-quilted from the same leather cut. The cushions are made of fire-retardant foam with variable density, covered in polyester fibers for added comfort, and upholstered in high-quality leather.
The seat and back cushions fit the curve of the frame.
The edges and sides of the straps are dyed to match the color of the upholstery.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) was one of the leading figures of the Modern Movement, both in architecture and design. His maxim 'Less is More' can be considered the motto of this trend, which constantly aimed to reduce decorative embellishments and seek pure, functional forms. Born in Aachen, of humble origins (he was the son of a stonemason specializing in funerary monuments), Mies spent his most formative years studying under Peter Behrens, a master of the Deutscher Werkbund, before embarking on an independent career that led him to create iconic buildings such as the German Pavilion at the 1928 Barcelona Expo, and later, the Seagram Building in New York and the iconic Farnsworth House. He was the director of the renowned Bauhaus School from 1930 until it was closed by the Nazis, who also forced him to emigrate to the USA in the late 1930s. There, he continued his career amid great honors and met Florence Knoll, whom he mentored; her company still produces all of his most famous furniture designs today.

Knoll complements the furniture of Vitra, Herman Miller, and Charles & Ray Eames.

I only sell to European Community countries, and I am NOT able to deliver to ZTL, or ISLANDS: for greater care in transport, the Barcelona set will be delivered on pallet (EPAL), it is essential that the shipping address allows access to the truck/tractor
