The Barceloneta chair by Serralunga is a contemporary reinterpretation of one of the most iconic pieces in design history — the Barcelona chair originally designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich in 1929.

Reimagined in collaboration with designer Raffaella Mangiarotti, this modern version combines timeless aesthetics with innovative materials, making it suitable for outdoor use while maintaining its distinctive elegance.

A modern reinterpretation of a design classic

The Barceloneta chair preserves the recognizable silhouette of the original design while introducing a new level of practicality.

Instead of traditional quilted leather, the chair features a high-quality molded structure that recreates the iconic capitonné effect, offering both visual depth and durability.

This reinterpretation allows the chair to maintain its design heritage while adapting to contemporary needs.

Designed for outdoor use

Unlike the original version, the Barceloneta chair is specifically designed for outdoor environments.

Its structure includes:

• a painted steel frame for strength and stability

• a high-density polyurethane seat

• UV-resistant materials for long-lasting performance

These features make it ideal for:

terraces and gardens

nautical environments

public and contract spaces

Innovative materials and manufacturing

The chair is produced using advanced rotational molding technology, a process in which Serralunga is a global leader.

This technique allows for:

• precise shapes and refined finishes

• high resistance to weather conditions

• lightweight yet durable construction

The result is a product that combines industrial innovation with sophisticated design.

A collectible design piece

The Barceloneta chair has been selected for exhibition at the Mies van der Rohe Foundation Museum in Barcelona — a recognition reserved for design objects of exceptional value.

This highlights its importance as both a functional piece and a collectible design item.

Care Intructions:

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.
