- designed in 1929 by Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich- typically produced in deadly boring black leather- uncomfortably low seat height

never liked the fact that the back rest has a curve that is inverse to that of the spine...looks better in cream...

My biggest problem with it is that at this point it's a symbol of a chair - used in law firms and building lobbies worldwide to signify some stupid notion of taste and power. They are only used as seating in an abstract way, they represent seating but always in a way that makes it very clear that you're not actually supposed to sit there.

see i think thats pretty gnarly, to have furniture in your office not for sitting or lounging but for communicating how rad and rich you are

yeah but Barcelona chairs are Mercedes rad and rich, not like Maybach rad and rich. It's a status symbol without status.

That's a lot of $$$ for "just a chair".

the Chair is excellent, the ubiquity/perceived fancy/expensiveness, not so much.
