Materials of the Barcelona Chair

The Barcelona Chair is a unique and striking piece of furniture comprised of:

Metal Legs: Usually polished or chromed stainless steel, but sometimes aluminum. The bar metal is shaped and welded, ground and polished.

Tufted leather upholstery: A patchwork checkerboard of piped leather and leather covered buttons, stretched gently across firm foam cushions.

Leather Straps: Behind and beneath the back rest and seat cushions - matching leather straps are riveted (or sometimes screwed) to the frame.

Fastening Systems: For the most part the Cushions are fasted to the frame and straps with buckles, (beneath the seat) and poppers at the back. Some modern variations include buckles in both places, fabric ties or even Velcro.
