Over the years we have been fascinated by the alternate takes on Mies Van der Rohe’s Barcelona Chair. It never gets old, although it’s sometimes overused. It’s been too often “softened” by professional furniture designers who create safe versions for safe modern interiors. These we ignore. We are interested in the non-safe iterations.
Take the Bitch Lounge by Tom Sachs (offered for sale in issue #7 of Nest Magazine): similar proportions, but only a few inches off the floor, perfect for nude reclining (you’ll have to open your own issue of Nest to understand that reference).
Another iteration is the ICA Rocker, available at Opulent Items (yes that is their real name). It’s got a very right-now feel to it, but it’s also enough of its own creature to have historical staying power the way the Barcelona Chair has. It has a quilted leather seat, polished stainless steel rockers, and a molded plywood back available in a variety of woods.

密斯式摇椅【奇客】
若干年来，我们一直为密斯范德罗赫设计的那些样式多变的巴塞罗那椅而神魂颠倒。尽管有时貌似因为出现得太频繁而显得有点泛滥，可是这种椅子好像永远都不会过时。追求安全感的现代室内设计让专业家居设计师们经常把这种新锐的设计给“软化”掉。不过我们无视这种变化，因为我们感兴趣的是那些“不安全”的款式。
以汤姆.萨克斯（Tom Sachs）设计的美人长椅——这是一款在第7期家居杂志（Nest Magazine）上出售的家具——为例：它的比例与传统款式相类似，不同之处在于它被抬离了地面几英尺，从而使得其不用什么装饰看上去就很完美了（打开你自己的家居杂志可以更好地理解这是怎样的一个设计）。
另一个改进版是在奥普伦特家居（Opulent Items）可以买到的ICA摇椅——是的，这个店名就是要告诉你他们的货品是多么的丰富。这种摇椅给人以很现代的感觉，但同时它也没有失掉巴塞罗那椅所特有的那种历史厚重感：它有填充了羽毛的坐垫，打磨得异常光滑的不锈钢扶手，以及有多种木材可供选择的铸模夹板靠背。
