Knoll International Barcelona Relax daybed
The Barcelona Relax daybed by Knoll International is the more softly upholstered version of the Barcelona daybed. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed the Barcelona furniture in 1929 for the German Pavilion at the World Exposition in Barcelona. The crossed frame and the tailored grid of leather cushions became the embodiment of modern architecture, for which Mies stood with his principle "less is more". He taught at the Bauhaus and at the Illinois Institute of Technology and was a mentor to Florence Knoll; in 1953 he transferred the production rights for the Barcelona collection to Knoll. The Museum of Modern Art in New York honoured it in 1977.
The frame is made of ash, black lacquered, and strung with 11 straps of saddle leather. The legs are made of polished, chrome-plated steel tube or in Onyx ultra-matt. For the cushion pad, 72 leather rectangles are hand-cut and sewn with piping and buttons; it is filled with foam of varying density and polyester fleece. The neck roll, made from the same leather, can be fastened with a leather strap. The "Knoll" logo is embossed into one leg.
Compared with the classic daybed, this version offers softer seating, and the legs are also available in Onyx ultra-matt. The leather is available in Volo, Andes and Velluto Pelle, as well as in the special edition Venezia.
