Lamps to go with your Barcelona Chair

The Barcelona Chair is a constant source of inspiration to Interior Designers and decorators the world over. So it is really no surprise that one of the most common questions we are asked, with regard to modern lighting is - 'What light fittings would go with my Barcelona chair?'

The answer is that the Barcelona Chair is one of those rare pieces of design that truly crosses over eras and aesthetics. It is such a shining star in the furniture firmament that nothing is quite like it stylistically - not another chair, and certainly not a lamp.

That said, i have endeavored to compile a list of lamps and light fittings that might 'go with' this icon of style... at least in my opinion.

There is really only one characteristic that I am looking for: Classic Simplicity in line, material and decoration.

I don't believe that historical consistency is a valid criteria at all because I've seen this chair displayed to such a great variety of settings.

I've seem in it baroque ball rooms, 60's shag carpet sunken living rooms, shabby chic drawing rooms and even hippie dippie bohemian homes.

Nothing is ruled out, everything is a possibility - all it takes is an authentic eye.
