Mies van der Rohe ranks as one of the most important 20th century chair designers, from the functional simplicity of the cantilever chairs to the luxurios confort of the Barcelona chair, is equalled by the work of Charles Eames. Their careful detailing and feeling of space reflect the aesthetic concerns of his architecture. The Barcelona chair has now become a classic example of luxurios design, and a status symbol of our time.
