Barceloneta Armchair

Serralunga, in collaboration with designer Raffaella Mangiarotti redesigned this classic piece, making it both innovative, comfortable and for the first time, practical to use outdoors.

Serralunga's Barceloneta chair is a unique reinterpretation of the iconic Barcelona chair designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich in 1929. It replaces the quilted leather with the practicality of plastic while maintaining the capitonnè effect for the backrest.

The allure of this classic piece was made possible through the use of plastic materials in a sophisticated rotating molding system, a technique in which the Biella company is the worldwide leader as furniture manufacturer. It has a painted steel frame and a seat made of high-density polyurethane with UV protection.

The new Barceloneta by Serralunga is a remake designed to meet today’s needs for outdoor living, ideal for nautical and in public environments.

The project is in keeping with the company’s intent which takes some of the great classics of design giving them a more upbeat stylish contemporary look.

The Barceloneta chair has been selected among the works on display at the Mies van der Rohe Foundation Museum in Barcelona.

"Very few companies in the world can boast having objects exhibited in the Barcelona museum dedicated to the celebrated designer," commented Marco Serralunga, CEO of Serralunga 1825. "We are honored and delighted to be able to celebrate our reissue of an iconic object, an extraordinary achievement achieved thanks to the collaboration with Raffaella Mangiarotti, our designer and art director until 2020, with whom we created around ten objects."

To remove dust and dirt from the surfaces of the product you will need to periodically clean with a damp cloth soaked in common detergent or soap and rinsed with water.
The products with a lacquered finish are more sensitive to scratches; for this reason use a polish cleaner, gently cleaning with a soft tissue.

Avoid the use of heavy chemicals. Avoid the use of ethanol or any liquid containing, even in small amounts, acetone, trichloroethylene and ammonia (solvents in general).
