Favorite Chair: The Barcelona

Let me introduce to you one of my all time favorite chairs, the Barcelona by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

It has also sometimes referred to as the Pavilion.  This chair was designed back in 1929.  Can you believe that?  It was designed for the German Pavilion at the International Exhibition in Barcelona.  Hence the name of the chair, pretty creative huh?  The chair is made out of bent chromed flat steel frame with leather straps and buttoned upholstered cushions.  

This classic chair is perfect for any room.  It fits into office lobbies seamlessly or as a side chair in a residential home.  It is a timeless piece of furniture that you will always love.  And lately it comes in a couple of different colors.  I saw it in red on Overstock.com.  Now that would be a great statement piece.
