Listen...chair


I am on the hunt for a good chair...for small room...don't want it seal to floor...legs preferably...

Question is leather seems to sound better cause it doesn't soak the room of sound....opinions?

And lest anyone forget, Knoll is a reproduction as well, and the best, but those prices!

Not true...
Knoll produces all the Mies furniture under licence from Mies' original drawings and pays royalties to the Mies van der Rohe Trust.
In fact the original drawings for the Barcelona chair were left behind by Mies in Berlin as he escaped the war and all the new chairs had to be made following the design of the Phillip Johnson original Barcelonas which he had in his glass house in New Canaan.
Knoll has unforgivably changed the thickness of the glass in his Barcelona table from 3/4" to 1/2". Easy to have a top made in the original thickness. I do......
Cassina has the rights for the original Le Corbusier furniture and they have been faithfully made from his (and Charlotte Perriand's) original drawings for 50 years.
Originals are expensive but certainly in Cassina's case they are worth it.
Knoll's chrome quality has been dubious for many years....
