Elegant and Simple

The Barcelona Chair is, at its most basic level, a truly beautiful design. It wasn't until recently while looking through a vintage home book that I finally learned its name. Later on in my research I discovered that it was created in 1929 by a man named Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Apparently he is credited with coining the phrases "Less is more" and "God is in the details" - love that! A photograph of a cool looking chair in a random book led me to new information and a new appreciation for a man I may never have otherwise known to exist.
