A BARCELONA DAY BED, by MIES VAN DER ROHE, 196cm (l), 96cm (w), 40cm (h).
Provenance: Private Collection, Dublin.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, born in Aachen Germany in 1886, was the man who coined the famous phrase less is more. Mies, as he is more commonly known, was an architect and furniture designer whose dedication to Functionalism was allied with an instinct for graceful form. This combination, and his exacting eye for detail, has made his furniture amount the most enduring of the Modern era.
Designed in 1930, the Barcelona day bed shares the same simple elegance as the iconic lounge chair of the same name. The hardwood frame has a clear protective lacquer finish whilst the legs are constructed of tubular steel with polished stainless-steel finish. 72 individual leather panels are cut, hand-welted and hand-tufted, and panels and buttons are created from a single hide. This iconic piece comes from the private collection of the late Dr Ronnie Tallon, one of Irelands most influential architects.
