Fairs For the first time ever at imm cologne,

Knoll presented a limited-edition

version of the famous Barcelona®

Chair, designed in 1929 by Ludwig

Mies van der Rohe when he was

invited to create the Pavilion at the

International Expo in Barcelona.

To celebrate the anniversary of

Bauhaus, which Mies directed from

1930 to when the school eventually

closed in 1933, the iconic chair will

be issued in 365 pieces in 2019,

one for each day of the year, offered

in three leather colours: black,

green and cream. GG

The idea of a single-block shell slowly

took hold of the Eames brothers in the

early 1940s. In 1950, the Fiberglass

Chair saw the light of day. Over the

course of time, the creation of this

chair was adapted to changing

situations. Now a new production

method allows the shell to be made

from the original material. GG

Eames in

fibreglass

Ribes is a modular seating system

for outdoors designed by Antonio

Citterio and presented for the first

time ever by B&B Italia this year at

imm cologne. The focus of the system

is a futon base with flexible fibreglass

slats, resting on an aluminium frame

with arm- and backrests and textile-

covered padding. Giulia Guzzini
