Sale price$13,489.00 CAD

Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 Barcelona Pavilion, the Barcelona Chair is one of the most celebrated icons of 20th-century modernism — and a timeless centrepiece for any refined interior. Its architectural frame, generously cushioned panels, each hand-stitched with the precision that has defined this piece for nearly a century. The result is a chair that does exactly what Mies intended: it commands a room while disappearing into it.
