Barcelona Chair & Ottoman Reproduction

Specifications

What makes the Rove Barcelona Chair premium reproduction so special ?

• Upholstered in 100% full grain Aniline Leather imported from Italy, the best, most expensive leather available.  Over the years we have maintained excellent relationships with our supplier and have an inexhaustible supply of leather finishes/colors.  All parts of the chair are made with the same leather grade including piping, buttons and all straps.
• Pure Solid #304 grade Stainless Steel Frame polished to a mirror like sheen, the 12mm thick heavy gauge solid core steel used on the frame provides maximum strength with the right amount of flex.
• Top and side matching Heavy Grade Saddle straps are riveted to the frame
• The rear seat cushion edge features an angular contour cut to compliment the angle of the frame. 
• PU-Injected foam cushions are Dacron wrapped.  This results in a extremely comfortable chair with the highest level of durability. The Dacron wrap also provides the perfect amount of top visual plump to the cushion.
• Braided thread used with Lockstitch (stitch type #301) ensures piping stays in place and seams are long lasting
• Our Barcelona Chair reproduction is a extremely exclusive furniture piece, owing to the hand stitching required for the upholstery.  Both cushions are entirely hand sewn/stitched. Individual squares of leather are cut from a single hide and sewn, welted and tufted. This labor intensive process takes up to 28 hours to complete per chair and the work has to be carried out by an extremely skilled pair of hands. This commitment to craftsmanship has ensured our reproduction to be on par with the original.
• Full original specifications and details are incorporated into our design, there simply is no discernable difference in the quality between the authentic chairs and our lounger.
• This item is not an original Mies van der Rohe, nor is it manufactured by or affiliated with Knoll.

 Genuine Imported Leathers

In order to distinguish Rove's line of genuine imported full leathers from generic leathers offered elsewhere that make similar claims of quality, we highly encourage you to request free swatches from each store and compare them side by side!

We are confident you will see the difference our quality makes. Rove products are designed to last for years thus it is only fitting that great attention is owed to the material and craftsmanship of each piece.

Description

Mies van der Rohe

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe born in 1886 was a German architect and widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of Modern Architecture. He was commonly referred to and addressed by his surname, Mies, by his colleagues, students, writers, and others. In 1923 he joined the avant-garde Bauhaus design school as their director of architecture, adopting and developing their functionalist application of simple geometric forms in the design of useful objects. Mies is best known for modernist architecture but also designed modern furniture pieces using new industrial technologies that have become popular classics. During Mies period of furniture design he collaborated closely with interior designer and companion Lilly Reich. Popular pieces include the Barcelona chair and ottoman, the Barcelona table, the Brno chair, and the Tugendhat chair. His furniture was known for fine craftsmanship, a mix of luxurious leather combined with modern chrome frames, and a distinct separation of the supporting structure and the supported surfaces.
