Méridienne Barcelona by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Knoll International

Knoll Studio's Barcelona daybed is an iconic design by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. In 1929, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was commissioned to design the German pavilion for the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona. He has created a beautiful ensemble in which the Barcelona chair and ottoman occupy a central place. The success of this piece of furniture was followed by a chaise longue in 1930 to complete the series. Like the chair, the daybed is characterized by a high degree of detail. Each of the 72 pockets is hand-sewn and buttoned, all from a single piece of premium leather. The comfortable cushion is intertwined with leather straps with the polished chrome steel frame. The platform on which the cushion rests is made of wood. The original price tag is still there. More photos on request. The piece represented and currently in our collection has a beautifully patinated black leather upholstery, all in very good condition.
