The Barcelona Bauhaus Chair
I absolutely love this chair!
The stripped back simplistic design and elegant feel to the shape of the delicate legs and side profile disguise the fact it was designed way back in 1929 by Mies van der Rohe, and architect Lilly Reich, the only alteration to the design was in 1950 when the chair was redesigned to obtain the current form with a single piece of steel rather than two pieces bolted together.
This chair even today still graces the cover of magazines, in interior design shoots and as key pieces of furniture in peoples homes.
I love the unified shape and profile it offers, whether it's emerging for a opulent carpet or sitting gracefully on a wooden polished floor the Barcelona Chair never looks out of place, it remains a stylish addition to any home, office space or reception area.
The chair could have been designed yesterday such is it's timeless and effortless look, the curved legs and back give a relaxed inviting feel to the chair, the gentle slope of the seat beckons you into the seat and back rest.
For me it's perfect design, brilliantly executed...
