History of the Barcelona Chair

Mies van der Rohe was an architect and designer at the Bauhaus school in Germany when he designed the Barcelona chair for the International Exposition of 1929. The chair took its name from the location where the exhibition was hosted that year, and was the centrepiece of the German Pavillion, which van der Rohe also designed.
