Inspired by the legendary Barcelona chair, this is modernist design at its finest and most elegant. Two chrome bars come together in a streamlined "s" shape to form the seat and back legs. Meanwhile a long elegant arc forms the back and the front legs.

Made with top-grain cowhide and mirror-finished stainless steel, our rendition is made to fit right in with the ones that sit in museums and 5-star hotel lobbies.

Originally designed to seat the Spanish king, the chair is serious about comfort with an extra-wide backrest, an ergonomic 105 ° back-angle and high-density sculpting foam.

Top-grain Cowhide Leather
Cowhide makes the strongest leather on the market. Using only the top-grain ensures a consistently smooth color and texture.

Hand-buffed 304 Stainless Steel
Like all the best steel furniture, the chair comes with incredible strength, load-bearing capacity and corrosion-resistance. But, unlike all steel furniture, this hand-buffed 304 steel contains chromium and nickel — giving it an extra bit of luster and strength.

High-Density Cushions
We designed our lounge chair to be deeply, and unequivocally, comfortable. For us, that was all in the cushions. Our cushions are denser, deeper, and softer than any we've every felt. This allows them to gently mold around your body without becoming permanently deformed.

Inspired by the Barcelona Chair
Ours is a replica of the legendary Barcelona chair. Originally designed in 1929 by by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich to seat Spanish royalty, the chair has since achieved royal status of its own. Today, it sits in the permanent exhibits every design museums and in the lobbies of 5-star hotels.

For good reason. In the words of the MOMA "The Barcelona Chair achieves the serenity of line and the refinement of proportions and materials characteristic of Mies van der Rohe's highly disciplined architecture". It is supported on each side by two chrome-plated, flat steel bars. Seen from the side, the single curve of the bar forming the chair's back and front legs crosses the S-curve of the bar forming the seat and back legs, making an intersection of the two."

Royally Comfortable
The Barcelona chair was originally designed to seat royalty. We took that original design and somehow made it even more comfortable.

Mies van der Rohe

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) was a German-American architect and one of the leading figures of modern architecture. Known for his minimalist and "less is more" approach, Mies's work emphasizes open space, clean lines, and the innovative use of materials like glass and steel. His iconic designs, such as the Barcelona Pavilion and the Farnsworth House, exemplify his mastery of blending structure and aesthetics. Mies's influence extends to furniture design, with pieces like the Barcelona Chair becoming timeless symbols of modernist elegance.

This Is A Replica

This piece is not manufactured by the brand that currently owns the rights to the designer’s work. We do not claim any rights on any third party trademarks. Instead this is a proud replica of the designer’s work, inspired by the original form and made with premium materials. The best designers of the last century wanted their iconic designs to be accessible to all. But big furniture brands moved in, and artificially drove up prices.

We’re changing that. We’re recreating the best furniture pieces of the 20th century and selling them at fair prices. We’re making great design accessible to all.
