• 100% Full Grain Italian Leather: Italian leather is often considered to be the best kind of leather in the world. True Italian leather is a type of full-grain that has been hand-selected and hand-crafted. It is a superior quality hide greatly coveted by top furniture manufacturers. Because most Italian leather is of such high quality, it can stay in beautiful condition much longer than other types of leather.
  
  
• 100% Full Grain European Aniline Leather: The most attractive and natural leathers which are prized for their soft natural feel. These are leathers which have been aniline dyed in a vat process with no color coating added to the surface. These transparent dyes leave the actual surface grain and such natural markings as wrinkles, bites and scars visible. Because they don't have a top coating the leather breathes more easily and is cooler to sit on. They are the most expensive leathers to produce because only the very best selection of hides can be used to produce full aniline leathers.
  
  

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was one of the fathers of the modern industrial design movement during the 20th century. He served as the final director of the Bauhaus, and his modernist approach is seen in the skylines of most major cities of today. Mies van der Rohe was known for the saying "less is more" and this preference for a minimalist approach epitomized his design, as he favored steel and simplicity over the traditional ornate styles that had come before.

	Excellent quality! - By D, Austin Tx. - 7/7/2012 6:43:06 AM

Comments	Don't let the 4-star fool you. Were it just for the chairs alone I would give 5. Read on! Just got in my pair of iFN Barcelona chairs yesterday and I couldn't be happier with the quality of them! I did a lot of homework online before picking a manufacturer to purchase from but even so I was nervous -- there's a lot of misinformation out there! True to the demo video these chairs are the proper dimensions the stainless is solid the stitching looks superb the seat cushion is vented underneath in the same manner that Knoll is doing currently and the tufting of the seat is tied through. No seams show the seats are not overly thick and chunky and it is evident from the grain that the cushion surface is stitched together from individual squares. This is a nicely done reproduction! I went with the aniline leather upgrade in ivory and I am a bit worried about them staining due to lack of top coat but they sure are soft! Only reason that I dock a star is ordering/shipping process. Web site showed chairs as being in stock confirmation email said they would ship within days. After that I got an email stating it would be two weeks. After two weeks I was told another two weeks. After that I was told maybe another month. In the end it was three months almost to the day before I had my chairs. To SLS/iFN's credit they did not actually charge my account until the chairs shipped to me. I would not even have been upset had the time initially been stated as taking up to 3 months. Email communication during this time was not really there but the online service people were very friendly. In the end though I am incredibly happy with my purchase and would recommend!
