Introducing the ultimate combination of sophistication, comfort, and an air of history to elevate any space: this utterly decadent Knoll Barcelona Couch (or Daybed - take your pick of names!), designed by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe in 1930. Custom ordered in the ultimate premium upgrade “Sabrina” leather (an Italian hide with an extremely smooth and tight hand) in the color “Coffee Bean” (an otherworldly chocolate brown). This is the genuine Knoll edition, not a reproduction: the KnollStudio logo and Mies’s signature are stamped into the steel frame; there is an additional factory decal with a unique serial number for identification and authentication, together with a KnollStudio envelope containing a booklet with a matching serial number plus information on the designer and care instructions; and the pattern on the underside of the upholstery features recurring “Knoll” stitching.
Extremely clean, mint condition: the leather cushions are still extremely firm, tight and smooth and no rips, tears or damage whatsoever; the hardwood frame is clean and shiny, with only one tiny nick on one corner.
A statement of timeless luxury and craftsmanship, the Barcelona Couch features a Sapele Mahogany hardwood frame from Africa finished with a protective clear lacquer finish, which attaches to four legs made of tubular steel in polished stainless steel. To create the deep, precise tufting of the cushion, a single cowhide is cut, hand-welted and hand-tufted into 72 individual leather panels, with supporting buttons produced from the same single cowhide; the matching bolster is secured to the cushion platform with straps complete with lock snaps. The cushion sits on top of 11 belting leather straps in the same color, which are fastened to the wood frame. All cushions are premium quality, fire-retadant, high resilient urethane foam with down-like dacron polyester fiberfill.
***The standard retail price for this exact configuration is $19,695 plus tax and shipping — a grand total of $21,877.***
NOTE: As the Knoll and DWR websites don’t currently list this exact color choice, the below links are for the Mahogany color in the Sabrina line (which has the exact same pricing). Thank you for looking. Please feel free to ask any questions.
