TERRIBLE online merchant. Their Eames chair replica is upholstered with 100% fake leather. I tried to return the chair and the owner, Mike, was extremely obstinate and condescending. Eventually, I had the "leather" from the chair analyzed by the Leather Research Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati and they conclusively demonstrated with rigorous scientific and microscopic analysis that not only is the material 100% synthetic, but a LOW quality synthetic. When I tried giving regency shop a chance to resolve this peacefully by telling them that I only wanted a return/refund and would no longer pursue any other action, the owner, Mike, became even more of a condescending jerk. So, I reported them to the BBB, requested a reverse of charges with my credit card company, and eventually regencyshop.com had to refund all of my $. The owner still tried claiming that his chair was upholstered in leather, so the claims went through arbitration, and he was resoundly defeated.

I'm posting this to warn any potential consumers of regencyshop that THIS MERCHANT IS FULL OF CRAP AND FRAUDULENTLY ADVERTISES CHEAPLY MADE FURNITURE FROM CHINA. In addition, he also posts fake "consumer reviews" himself at various online consumer reporting sites, all with the same theme of "I bought a wonderful chair from regencyshop and am so pleased with my purchase that i'm thinking of buying another one or two for my family/friends." THIS IS ALL A SCAM.

AVOID THIS MERCHANT AT ALL COSTS

The Barcelona chair was exclusively designed for the German Pavilion, that country's entry for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, which was hosted by Barcelona, Spain. The design resulted from collaboration between the famous Bauhaus architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and his longtime partner and companion, architect and designer Lilly Reich, whose contributions have only recently been acknowledged. An icon of modernism, the chair's design was inspired by the campaign and folding chairs of ancient times.

Lilly Reich began working for the Deutscher Werkbund in 1912, an organization whose raison d'etre was to focus specifically on the German design industry, its quality, evolution and promotion. Reich was responsible for designing and organizing many of the Werkbund's international exhibitions, and in 1921 became the organization's first female member.

Reich and van der Rohe met in the mid-1920s and collaborated on many of these exhibition design projects until he departed for the United States in 1938. While Reich always deferred to van der Rohe in public, the reverse was said to have been the case in private. While it is naturally difficult to apportion the contributions that each made to a particular design, it is interesting and poignant to note that van der Rohe never again produced any furniture designs after their partnership ended, nor had he designed any furniture beforehand. His first patent on a furniture design was issued in 1927 and his last in 1937.

THE BARCELONA CHAIR HAS BEEN THE BEST LOUNGE CHAIR EVER MADE. HANDS DOWN!!!!


LOVE THE BARCELONA CHAIR!!!

Knoll claims to be the current licensed manufacturer and holder of all trademark rights to the design. In 1965, Knoll purchased the trademark rights to the Barcelona word from Drexel. In 2004, Knoll received trade dress rights to the design from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Despite these trademarks, a large replica market continues. Gordon International New York has continued to manufacture the designs since the 1970s, even after a court battle against Knoll in 2005. In 2008, another court battle erupted between Knoll and Alphaville Design California; the outcome is pending Summary Judgment in Federal District court.

THE BARCELONA CHAIR IN BLACK IS THE BEST COLOR!!
