The Barcelona Chair is exceptionally inspirational to
me, the fact that a simple chair encompasses such a
great historical background and is capable of making an
exclusive and modernized mark in the history of
designing furniture is remarkable to me. The Barcelona
Chair continues to inspire so many exquisite designs
today. The chair was originally designed by the renowned
Bauhaus architect, Miles van der Rohe and exemplifies a
"modern classical" style, representing the folding
chairs used by Pharaohs and Romans in the ancient era.
