There are 649 furniture and interiors online. The Barcelona Chair achieves the serenity of line and the refinement of proportions and materials characteristic of Mies van der Rohe's highly disciplined architecture. It is supported on each side by two chrome-plated, flat steel bars. Seen from the side, the single curve of the bar forming the chair's back and front legs crosses the S-curve of the bar forming the seat and back legs, making an intersection of the two. This simple shape derives from a long history of precedents, from ancient Egyptian folding stools to nineteenth-century neoclassical seating. The cantilevered seat and the back of the original chairs were upholstered in white kid leather with welt and button details.

Mies van der Rohe designed this chair for his German Pavilion at the Barcelona Exposition of 1929. The Pavilion was the site of the inaugural ceremony for the German exhibits at the exposition, and the Spanish king was to preside. It had to be an "important chair, a very elegant chair," according to the architect. "The government was to receive a king. . . . The chair had to be . . . monumental. In those circumstances, you just couldn't use a kitchen chair." Although only two Barcelona chairs were made for the German Pavilion, the design was put into production and became so popular that, with the exception of one sixteen-year period, it has been manufactured since 1929. from The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA Highlights, New York: The Museum of Modern Art, revised 2004, originally published 1999, p. 120 If you would like to reproduce an image of a work of art in MoMA's collection, or an image of a MoMA publication or archival material (including installation views, checklists, and press releases), please contact

When shopping for your Spanish Pavilion Chair, be sure to keep the following qualities in mind: ● Leather: Many Spanish Pavilion Chair Sellers cut on costs by using a poor quality leather such as "Bonded Leather", or will use "Leather Match", in which the sides and back of the cushions use cheap or synthetic leather. On our products, all sides of the cushion are fully upholstered in your leather grade of choice! ● Steel: Competitors may cut on costs by using a cheap metal or aluminum for the frame. A cheap frame will not retain its shape over time, and may even rust or oxidize, which will damage the chair's upholstery. The Spanish Pavilion Chair that we offer uses only Solid stainless Steel for optimum strength, reliability and a perfect shine that will not be compromised with age. 100% Full Grain Italian Leather: Italian leather is often considered to be the best kind of leather in the world. True Italian leather is a type of full-grain that has been hand-selected and hand-crafted.

It is a superior quality hide greatly coveted by top furniture manufacturers. Because most Italian leather is of such high quality, it can stay in beautiful condition much longer than other types of leather. 100% Full Grain European Aniline Leather: The most attractive and natural leathers which are prized for their soft natural feel. These are leathers which have been aniline dyed in a vat process with no color coating added to the surface. These transparent dyes leave the actual surface grain and such natural markings as wrinkles, bites and scars visible. Because they don't have a top coating the leather breathes more easily and is cooler to sit on. They are the most expensive leathers to produce because only the very best selection of hides can be used to produce full aniline leathers. "Customer service was effortless.They contacted me regarding a delay in shipping, offered alternatives if I needed the product quicker and were very helpful. I chose to wait for the exact leather I chose and am very pleased with the Barcelona chair.

Color is perfect with my place. I watched the video on the chair before purchase, shopped around and felt this was the best of the reproductions not only in how it is made but also price. True to the video. I expect to have many years of sitting pleasure." ~ Serenity Living Customer "We received the Pavilion Spanish leather chair & ottoman today.
