Tugendhat / Barcelona coffee table

Exuding modern style and sophistication, Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe’s chrome and glass Barcelona coffee table, sometimes called the Tugendhat coffee table (after the house for which is was designed) is a perfect complement to the world renowned Barcelona chair.

Rohe’s “less is more” maxim is effortlessly demonstrated in this design, with its pure composition and simple structure, hence why it sits elegantly in Bruce Wayne’s house in Batman v Superman. You will also find the same table in M’s apartment in the Bond Casino Royale (2006).

The celebrated designer’s signature is stamped into the frame of the table, which is crafted from polished chrome and hand-buffed to a mirror finish.

This coffee table would make a standout addition to a contemporary scheme.
