What is the Barcelona chair — and who designed it?
The Barcelona chair (originally the Barcelona Pavilion chair) was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe with Lilly Reich for the Barcelonas internasjonale utstilling i 1929, where it was created as seating for the German Pavilion. Its cantilevered X-frame and tufted leather cushions became a defining statement of Bauhaus and modernist design, and the piece is licensed today by knaus.
A “Barcelona-style replica” reproduces those proportions and that construction without the licensed-brand markup. Decomica products are high-quality reproductions inspired by iconic mid-century designs; they are not manufactured by, or affiliated with, the original licence holders.
