Architect: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Maker: Knoll Inc./ Knoll International This Barcelona Daybed is one of the most iconic objects of 20th-century modern design. Although the original design was created by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1930 for the Barcelona International Exposition, this particular piece dates from the 1960s and was produced in the USA. It was manufactured by the prestigious Knoll Inc. / Knoll International, the sole authorized manufacturer adhering to the architects original specifications. The daybed has undergone a precise renovation to meet the highest quality standards. The chrome-plated steel construction has been professionally cleaned to a mirror finish, and the frame has been fitted with new elastic straps to ensure proper tension and comfort. The seating has been newly upholstered in high-quality fine cowhide leather, featuring the characteristic tufting and buttons exactly according to the original design. This piece represents the perfect fusion of industrial precision and luxury craftsmanship that defined the Bauhaus movement. According to the original process, our professional refurbishing team in Czechia has restored and reupholstered the item. This item features classic Bauhaus design elements. Elements of this style are neutral colors and occasional bright primary colors. Bauhaus designers avoided the fussy and pretentious, looking for clean, modern lines. Perfect for a timeless yet modern look. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
