The Barcelona Chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Certain items in life are worth paying for, as they will never go out of style. A well-tailored suit. An elegant timepiece. The Barcelona Chair (US$3350). First shown to the world at the International Exposition in 1929, the chair continues to this day to be a cornerstone of great design, exuding class and elegance like no other piece of furniture. Sure, it’s a bit pricey, but what else can you spend this kind of money on and be virtually guaranteed that it will still be in style long after you’re gone? from uncrate.com
巴塞隆納椅
這是包浩斯學校第三任校長-密斯‧凡德羅為巴塞隆納的國際博覽會德國館設計
巴塞隆納椅主要的是由兩條金屬條撐起整個椅墊
一條是椅背延伸地面
另一條則是由椅座往椅背的方向延伸
交叉成完美的x,支撐著整個椅墊
少了一般沙發的厚重感
與其稱之為沙發,我認為用’椅子’來稱之更為合適
被喻為廿世紀最優美雅致的經典椅子之一
是現代建築的先驅之一
也是現代主義發源的象徵
