Scroll down and get to know the Shell chair and more creative chairs!

I think most of us have experienced that feeling or call which we want to add an artistic touch to our spaces. Whether implementing paintings, photographs, patterns, and even furniture we can express a little of our personality through a creative piece.

While it is true that most people hang paintings to add this touch, other people a little more eccentric decide to implement something more striking and commonly used such as furniture, specifically; the chairs.

The chairs believe it or not are an authentic way to show the different touch that we want our design to have. Today we will show you some of the most creative and functional chairs that will help you achieve your goal. Let us begin!

The Shell chair is an architectural masterpiece

Although the Shell chair was created in 1963, the design was ahead of its time! The structure of the chair is considered avant-garde. The design’s floating appearance is achieved through its wing-shaped seat and curved back supported by a frame with three arched legs.

The Barcelona Chair was released in 1928, at the International Exposition of Barcelona, Spain.

Whenever we talk about the Barcelona Collection and the Barcelona Chair, among the many masterpieces that make it up, a couple of famous phrases coming up to our minds: The genius of  Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the principles of Modernism, the collaboration with the German designer Lily Reich…And that International Exposition of Barcelona in 1928. 

What was the Barcelona International Exposition of 1928?

The first Universal Exposition was held in Barcelona, in 1898, so the 1929 Exposition was not the first international fair to be held in Barcelona.

This fair had been proposed by Catalan architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch as early as 1905, but the onset of World War I and other political and economic factors delayed the project; construction on the new site did not properly begin until 1917.

One of the main challenges of the exhibition was to find a site large enough to accommodate it, as it would require at least 110 hectares of land for development. Eventually, the organizers settled on Montjuïc hill as the new home of the exhibition – a move that entailed the resettling of some of the local population.

The Barcelona International Exposition has some public spaces, a group of International Pavilions with the Official Sections, and a group of Private Pavilions, among other specials Pavilions.

In the previous post, we talked about why it is important to decorate the spaces you have for rent in Airbnb and we showed you that the Le Corbusier chair replica and collection can help you in your way of creating a modernist layout.

For example, if you have a room on a beach you can choose nautical items.

The advantages of having a floor lamp in the bedroom are many, but if it’s an extraordinary model like the Arco lamp, the advantages are easily duplicated. The extraordinary Carrara marble base of this artifact gives it enough stability and firmness, and you can use it as a small stool or night table as well if you put it next to the bed to place small things like your cell phone, your current bedside book, garments or small ornaments.

The Castiglioni brothers thought about all the details, including how this base could be easier to move from one area to another, which they achieved thanks to the cylindrical hole that goes through the marble parallelepiped in which a broomstick fits to move it easily.

However, the base’s versatility is not the only remarkable feature of this design, which is also present in models such as the Arco lamp replica from Manhattan Home Design. Also, its imposing stainless steel arch, which can reach 95 inches in height.

The Arco lamp reproduction can also project overhead lighting, which is not common in all floor lamps. The user can receive direct light from above even if the base is two meters away. That is perfect for reading and manual work. This was one of the most outstanding characteristics and advantages of this piece, which made it one of the legends of the Mid-Century Modern style.

The Barcelona Collection is the entire sum of the set of furniture designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the Barcelona International Exposition of 1929. This collection has a great impact in the world of Interior Design and furniture, due to the revolutionary changes that it brought in an early date like 1929.

Lets comment some curious facts about this famous collection

1. The first Barcelona chair was upholstered with pigskin, as most of the luxury fabrics of that time, but later versions of the chair and sofa were upholstered with cowhide. Nowadays, the advance in leather treatment technology allowed the use of Aniline, a variety of several types of leather with a special dye treatment.
2. It’s curious that Ludwig Mies van der Rohe only made furniture designs when he was in collaboration with Lilly Reich in the 1920s. He never made any known design on furniture before that decade, or after of this decade. It’s rumored that the collaboration of Lilly was deeper than the use of textiles, but creativity in the very design of the chair, its shape, and form. 
3. The royal and elegant appearance of the Barcelona Chair and the Barcelona Daybed is not a random result. Van der Rohe and Reich went back to the ancient Roman Empire days, and the Egyptian Empire; most specifically in the royal tents that the roman general and senators used to relax in the middle of their campaigns. That’s why they have this timeless appearance.
