Full Description

The Mies Van Der Rohe Barcelona daybed design was used for the first time in 1930 in Philip Johnson's apartment in New York and later shown to the public in 1931 at the Berlin Bau-Austellung as part of the furniture for a 'bachelor's apartment'. Individual leather squares are cut and sewn by hand to form the cushions, unlike inferior reproductions which are often made with a single piece of leather, guaranteed to curl. The edges of the cushions are piped with matching leather, sewn by hand.

About Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) began his career working in his father's stonemasonary business. He then took an apprenticeship with Berlin furniture designer Bruno Paul. He later joined the office architect Peter Behrens, whose work presaged the modern movement. Mies established his own office in Berlin in 1912 a, and went on to become a member of the Deutscher Werkbund and Director of the Bauhaus. In 1938 he immigrated to the United States and setup a practice in Chicago. One of his most famous buildings is the German Pavilion built for the 1929 Barcelona Exposition.
