Mies van der Rohe Barcelona Daybed
$7,995.00
A piece that embodies elegance and presence, the Barcelona Daybed is a cornerstone of modernist design. Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1929 and produced by Knoll International in 1972, it is both a functional object and a statement of form, distilling rest into something architectural, sensual, and essential.
Originally unveiled at the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona, this daybed was designed to captivate Spanish royalty, yet its beauty lies in its simplicity. Inspired by the ancient Etruscan "sella curulis" chair, Mies transformed history into modernity - where luxury is not excess but the purity of material, space, and proportion.
Crafted with hand-sewn black leather upholstery, each button-tufted cushion carries the imprint of meticulous craftsmanship. The solid wood platform, bound by leather straps, creates warmth against the crisp chromed steel frame, striking a balance between structure and softness. A cylindrical bolster pillow offers an invitation - to recline, to pause, to surrender into presence.
At Organic Erotic, we believe that design is more than an aesthetic—it is an invitation into the senses. The Barcelona Daybed is not just a place to rest; it is an experience of stillness, a practice in refinement, a moment of ease woven into space.
Decades after its creation, the Barcelona Daybed remains one of the most sought-after pieces in modern interiors, aligning effortlessly with Mies' vision—"less is more." A true piece of design history, it continues to offer a place of both repose and reverence.
