'Knoll Barcelona Chair' (1929)
Welting and buttons come from a single Spinneybeck Volo cowhide and are supported by cowhide belt straps, dyed to match the color of the chair. To create the deep, precise tufting, individual
panels of leather are cut, hand welted and hand tufted. The chromed-steel frame is hand buffed to mirror-like perfection. The Barcelona Chair was honored with the Museum of Modern Art Award in
1977.
The Barcelona Chair is a registered trademark of Knoll, Inc., manufactured by Knoll according to the original and exacting specifications of the designer.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
1886
Widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture. Mies, like many of his post WW I contemporaries, sought to establish a new architectural style that could represent modern
times just as Classical and Gothic did for their own eras. He created an influential Twentieth-Century architectural style, stated with extreme clarity and simplicity. His mature buildings made use
of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define austere but elegant spaces. He sought a rational approach that would guide the creative process of design, and is known
for his use of the aphorisms Less is more and God is in the details.
He approaced furniture design with the same approach, to design classics, such as the Barcelona chair and the Brno chair. His furniture is known for fine craftsmanship, a mix of traditional
luxurious fabrics like leather combined with modern chrome frames, and a distinct separation of the supporting structure and the supported surfaces, often employing cantilevers to enhance the feeling
of lightness created by delicate structural frames.
