Modern and Retro create a timeless piece. The Barcelona Chair and Ottoman

We just love classic furniture and adore the timeless quality of the Barcelona chair. This chair was originally designed back in 1929, when the renewed Bauhaus architect Mies Van der Rohe collaborated with Lilly Reich. This chair quickly became an icon of modernism and
the Barcelona chair is now one of our showcase pieces.

It’s a piece that is both trendy in design and yet very functional. Anyone seated in the chair will enjoy the comfort that the chair offers, plus the feeling of safety that envelopes one while seated.

The design is both modern and retro in nature. The use of minimalist and sleek lines shows its trendiness, while the quilted cushion design is reminiscent of the design features of furniture in the 1960s and 1970s.

The solid stainless steel legs are sleekly curved, thus making the perfect combination with the quilt design. One will not find any screws or bolts that could be potential sources of injuries to the users. The back cushion of the chair is bound to its support by thick leather straps that are guaranteed not to sag or have molds despite the passage of time.

Any current or potential owner of the Barcelona chair will see that it is a good investment that will give the owner many, many days and nights of pleasure, safety and comfort to last perhaps a lifetime.

Clarity and Simplicity - The Mies Bruno Chair

When you walk down Park Ave around 52nd Street, you can not miss the elegant Seagram Building. It had an enormous affect on American architecture with its visible structural elements, steel frame and glass walls. Same when you travel around Lake Michigan, and notice the famous glass and steel Lake Shore Drive Apartments - a Chicago Landmark and a piece of historic architecture.

Both of these buildings were designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Mies was a German American architect that created influential buildings and designs that remain memorable because of their extreme clarity and simplicity.

Bruno Chair

Mies also designed and created a line of modern furniture. He created the classic "Mies Chairs" like Barcelona chair and the Bruno chair using new industrial methods that immediately became classic. His sign was visible separation between the chair’s structure and seating surface.



The Bruno chair is a classic addition to any office or home. At www.escadesigns.com you can find a reproduction of the classic Mies design, handcrafted with fine leather and leather-matching vinyl, constructed using individual leather panels, each piece cut and hand-sewn.
