the barcelona chair





The famous 'Barcelona X Chair' chair was designed in 1929, by Mies van de Rohe together with Lilly Reich for the his German Pavilion at the Barcelona International Exhibition. The Barcelona Chair design is said to be derived from his interpretation of an Egyptian royal folding chair and a Roman folding footstool, it came to define the genre, an icon for the era and perhaps the whole modern movement.
