Barcelona Collection
The Barcelona Chair and Stool were conceived as resting places for the King and Queen of Spain in the 1929 German Pavilion at the International Exhibition in Barcelona. Determined to create a chair worthy of royalty, it’s believed that Ludwig Mies van der Rohe based the design’s signature crisscross frame on the campaign chairs of Ancient Rome.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
A hugely influential figure in design history, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe brought a less-is-more approach to everything he designed, from furniture to skyscrapers. He taught at the Bauhaus and Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), and was a trusted mentor to Florence Knoll. Mies’ buildings—including the Seagram Building, IIT Campus, and Farnsworth House—changed the face of American architecture.
