Barcelona® Stool

One of the most recognized objects of the last century, and an icon of the modern movement, the Barcelona Stool exudes a simple elegance that epitomizes Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's most famous maxim, “less is more.”Created by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for his 1929 German Pavilion at the International Exhibition in Barcelona, the Barcelona Collection’s pure composition came to epitomize modern architecture. From the elegant crisscross frame to the individual upholstery squares expertly welted together by hand, each Barcelona Stool is a tribute to the marriage of modern design, exceptional craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail.
