Regular price $ 10,000

This is a pair of Barcelona Lounge Chairs, model 250LS, initially designed by Mies van der Rohe and Lily Reich in 1929. These examples were produced by Knoll in the United States in 1995, and the listed price includes the pair. They feature solid, hand-polished stainless-steel frames (vs. the more commonly seen chrome-plated editions) and have cushions upholstered in Spinneybeck “Sabrina” calfskin leather in Nasturtium, a color that resembles a deep terracotta. The retail price of these chairs was over double the cost of a standard chrome Barcelona chair, rendering them to be very special indeed. 

Each chair measures 30 inches long, 29.5 inches wide, and 30.25 inches high. Their seat height is 17 inches. Both the frames and the leather upholstery are in good condition, with some light cat scratches on the cushions, and some light patina on the frames. There are no engravings on the frames, but the Knoll tags remain. For reference, Knoll did not engrave frames until later in the 1990s, so these chairs pre-date that practice. They are guaranteed as authentic examples.
