The artwork, titled “Barcelona Stool,” was created by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1929. It belongs to the Constructivism art movement and falls under the genre of design and furniture.
The artwork features a sophisticated rectangular seat cushion, meticulously upholstered in a quilted design, exhibiting a grid of neatly tufted squares. The cushion is supported by an elegantly minimalist cross-shaped frame, crafted from chrome-finished metal. The curves of the frame exude a sense of fluidity and modernism, complementing the overall clean and functional aesthetic. This piece epitomizes the fusion of form and function, embodying the principles of Constructivism through its emphasis on geometric shapes, sleek lines, and the harmonious integration of materials.
