Authentic Knoll Barcelona Couch / Daybed - DWR

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 premium upgrade “España” leather (an Italian hide with an extremely smooth and tight hand) in the color “Alhambra” (an eye-catching, warm brown hue). 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 KnollStudio factory decal with a unique serial number for identification and authentication; and the pattern on the underside of the upholstery features recurring “Knoll” stitching. Superb condition: the leather cushions are still extremely firm, tight and smooth with only the slightest signs of gentle use over time and no rips, tears or damage whatsoever; the hardwood frame is clean and shiny, with only a couple of minor nicks. 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 $$18,795 plus tax and shipping — a grand total of $20,897. Asking for $10,500, but happy to hear reasonable offers. Note: España leather is coded by Knoll as Grade V, which has the same pricing as the “Acqua” leather shown on the Knoll website.*** Because the Knoll and DWR websites don’t currently offer / price out this exact leather choice, I’ve also included a to HiveModern, an official Knoll retailer that does provide this custom option. (Of course one could also purchase this option directly from Knoll at their showroom or by calling customer service.) Thank you for looking.
