The key principle designs behind the Barcelona Chair.

Minimalism

The Barcelona Chair has clean cut, sleek shapes. There is no unnecessarily details, and its design attends completely at its function. A very comfortable cushion that is supported by an original, endurable and beautiful "X" frame.

Experimental materials

Today this could be seen as a very common, regular thing, but at its time, the mix of materials used to built the Barcelona Chair were highly experimental. In the 1920s, furniture was still highly associated with wood, and the use of stainless steel, fiber, and different kind of upholstery wasn't common. In Mid Century Modern, the experimental use of materials allows to achieve better design objects, sustainable to be produced at mass scale.

Functionality over Design.

This means that everything in the product has to do with its function, with the minimal ornamentation. Before Modernism, and basically in Architecture, the ornamentation was the priority, and all the elements of the Design are contingent. With its elegant, sleeker design, the Barcelona Chair met this rule without losing any piece of Beauty.

Timeless Beauty
