Barcelona Chair

I have always liked this classically modernist chair by the 1930's architect Mies van der Rhoe (1886-1969). Even to this day I will spot this chair often in office buildings and expensive condo lobbies in chicago. I think the clean lines are timeless, I liked it even as a child. The picture here may be hard to fully appreciate without a cleanly designed setting around it, the chair is meant to be a component to a room. The fact that nearly eighty years after it's inception the chair is still being manufactured and selling in the 4000-7000 dollar range is a testament to its long lasting design appeal.
