The Barcelona Chair: An Iconic Chair in All Continents

Always in the trends, the Barcelona Chair is constantly mentioned in every recount of design achievements, as something not only functional and beautiful but as a cosmopolite symbol of status.

Even though the Barcelona Chair was created in Europe and popularized in America in the 1950s, its fame is nowadays worldwide. In every market of furniture, when it comes to excellence in design, the Barcelona Chair comes out as a landmark for other creators to follow.

That is the case in the far east, in countries like Malaysia, where style magazines take the Barcelona Chair as one of the Top Designs in furniture.

Making reference to its sleeker design, the Malaysian Tatler refers to the creation of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as a symbol of the modernist movement, and the very embodiment of that famous phrase attributed to van der Rohe: “Less is more” (Words that wasn’t quoted really by the German figure but coined by an employee).

In the article, a Top 5 of the better furniture design for Savvy home-owners, the Barcelona Chair is paired with other classic designs, like the Eames Lounge Chair, and the Louis Ghost Chair, by Philippe Starck. But the items in the list are mostly Mid Century Modern style.

The Malaysian Tatler is an luxury stylish magazine, targeting the best of Asian, and Maylasian Society and elite. 

It has to do with the mastermind behind the design, of course, but that wasn’t the only factor used to explain such an extended journey.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich designed, not only the Barcelona Chair, but the entire Barcelona Collection between 1928 and 1929, to release it in the Barcelona International Expo of 1929. It has by that time, revolutionary conceptual and manufacturing innovations that paved the way for what turns to be called modernism in the 1920s and 1930s. 

Minimal ornaments,  a distinctive “X” shape frame; the combination of metal (stainless steel) and leather, and a focus on the functional side of the pieces, were the main features of this proposal were combined with other major works of legendary figures like Le Corbusier, to send an avant-garde message.

The Barcelona Chair complements and grows with the Barcelona Loveseat (Two seats) and the Barcelona Sofa. The popularity of this piece, along with the others by the Barcelona Collection into the American culture is such that they even appeared in several blockbuster movies (American Psycho and Casino Royale, just to name a couple), and is still today.

The Barcelona Chair: A Chair and An Architecture

The Barcelona Chair is without a doubt one of the most iconic pieces of design ever made, and its charm is transmitted from generation to generation finding new edges in a classical piece.

As a result of this day after day, there are new articles and references from several prestigious sources where the Barcelona Chair is mentioned. This time the turn is for the Metropolitan Museum of New York, thanks to its publishing.

According to My Modern Met, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is one of the founders of Modernism in Architecture and Arts, and you can tell it both in furniture and architecture.

In both fields, the philosophy of Van Der Rohe is very clear: Minimal ornamentation and a strong structure  (“skin and bones”, he used to say). “Less is more”, one of its most famed architectural principles illustrates very well. The ownership structure of the object must act as its only ornament.

That is the case of the Barcelona Chair and the German  Pavilion from the Barcelona International Exposition. The two examples mentioned by My Modern Met.

The German Pavilion

The Barcelona Collection, the creation of Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe made for the International Exposition of Barcelona,  was released in the German Pavilion, designed by L. Mies van der Rohe with the collaboration of Lilly Reich. Because of its simplicity and revolutionary style was considered a hallmark of its time. It was demolished after the Exposition, but rebuilt in 1985, by Cristian Cirici, following the original Design by van der Rohe. 

The Barcelona Chair

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich designed, not only the Barcelona Chair but the entire Barcelona Collection between 1928 and 1929, to release it in the Barcelona International Expo of 1929. It has by that time, revolutionary conceptual and manufacturing innovations that paved the way for what turns to be called modernism in the 1920s and 1930s.  Minimal ornaments,  the use of metal (stainless steel) and leather, and a focus on the functional side of the pieces were the main features of this proposal were combined with other major works of figures like Le Corbusier, to send an avant-garde message.

Your Modern Sofa: a Leading Element In Your Floor Plan

Have you ever thought about the great role that your modern sofa has in your living room? Certainly, the importance of this piece of furniture is so outstanding that this is the reason why it’s usually one of the first pieces chosen by professional interior designers and ordinary users, even the most inexperienced.

It’s funny how choosing the midcentury sofa can be such a complex matter that many people spend many days and even weeks reviewing as many options as possible before making the final choice. When it comes to minimalist decors, it’s usually not necessary to add many additional elements since these types of trends take into account only the essentials.

A modern sectional is usually enough to cover a corner and take advantage of it in the most efficient way possible. Although, lately, interior designers also use them to divide very wide compartments for multiple uses.

Leather sofas are versatile, very modern pieces that are manufactured in all sizes and with different upholsteries. However, the best sofas are famous and widely sold because they achieve the perfect balance between style and functionality.

Never doubt the power of your modern sofa, whether it’s a fabric, leather, sectional, woodrow box, corner sofa, or sofa bed. The importance of this piece for your layout makes it worthy of the place of honor. It will give your living room the beauty and functionality it deserves.
