Barcelona chair & Ottoman Ludwig Mies van der Rohe black leather

Iconic and timeless, this Barcelona chair and ottoman set embodies one of the absolute masterpieces of 20th-century design, conceived by the great architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1929 for the German Pavilion at the Barcelona World Expo. The structure rests on characteristic X-shaped legs made of shiny flat chrome steel, true visual signatures of this universal design. On this elegant frame, the cushions of the seat, backrest, and ottoman are held by a network of crossed straps, upholstered in carefully tufted black leather, punctuated by a regular grid of visible buttons that give the whole piece its refined and sculptural look. This is most likely a reissue or a vintage copy from the 1960s, making it a true collector's item with a beautiful patina of time. The leather surfaces and chrome elements are in satisfactory condition. The internal support straps, visible on the underside, show notable wear and darkening, authentic witnesses to the age of the piece. A prestigious duo to integrate into a contemporary interior, a reception space, or a characterful office. Chair dimensions: Height: 77 cm. Length: 77 cm. Width: 75 cm. Total weight: 44.8 kg.
