Forged by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1929, the LUDWIG Barcelona Chair was created for the German Pavilion at the International Exposition in Barcelona, this chair centralises the Bauhaus interior design movement’s core philosophy—synergising form, function and craftsmanship.

Design Heritage and Historical Context
Mies van der Rohe, a leading figure in the Bauhaus movement, developed this chair during a pivotal moment in design history. Europe was embracing modernism, rejecting ornate traditional styles in favor of clean lines and functional beauty. The Barcelona Chair emerged from this cultural shift, showcasing how simple, well-proportioned forms could create powerful visual impact without unnecessary decoration.
The chair’s design draws subtle inspiration from ancient folding stools used by Roman magistrates, reimagined through Mies’ modernist perspective. This historical reference adds depth to what appears at first glance to be a purely contemporary design.
