black leather Barcelona Chair Knoll Mies van der Rohe

Chair One of the most recognizable objects of the last century and an icon of the modern movement, the Barcelona Chair exudes a simple elegance that epitomizes Mies van der Rohe's most famous motto, "Less is more."
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe A highly influential figure in the history of design, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe brought a less-is-more approach to everything he designed, from furniture to skyscrapers. He taught at the Bauhaus and the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and was a trusted mentor to Florence Knoll. Mies's buildings—including the Seagram Building, the IIT campus, and the Farnsworth House—changed the face of American architecture.
