Barcelona Chair and Ottoman Replica

Shop Barcelona Chair with Ottoman Sets by Colour

Every replica Barcelona chair and ottoman here shares the same build and measurements, so the choice comes down to colour. Black is our most-ordered set. White and tan brown come next.

With two pieces in the room, colour covers more floor than it does on a single chair. The ottoman also takes the most contact, from feet and from guests, so care matters as much as looks.

• Black Barcelona chair with ottoman: the strongest outline of the six. Two dark pieces anchor a large or bright room, and everyday scuffs show least.
• White Barcelona chair and ottoman: looks lighter than two pieces usually do, which helps in smaller rooms with pale walls. Wipe the ottoman top regularly, as new dark denim can leave dye on white leather.
• Tan brown Barcelona style chair and ottoman: takes the edge off the steel and sits well on oak floors or a wool rug. Small marks are less obvious than on the pale colours.
• Chocolate brown Barcelona style chair and ottoman: the most forgiving choice if the ottoman will be used every day.
• Cream Barcelona chair and ottoman: a softer alternative to white for neutral rooms. It needs the same regular wiping.
• Red Barcelona chair and ottoman: makes the set the focal point. It works best as one set against plain walls.

Care for each colour is covered in our Barcelona chair cleaning guide.

How to Choose a Barcelona Chair Ottoman Set

Measure the floor first

The chair is 77 cm wide, 78 cm deep and 83 cm high. The ottoman is 61 cm wide, 54 cm deep and 42 cm high. Together they weigh 30 kg: 19 kg for the chair and 11 kg for the ottoman.

What catches people out is the gap. To rest your legs, the ottoman sits 20 to 40 cm in front of the chair, depending on your height.

Ottoman position	Floor depth needed	When it works
In use, 20 to 40 cm in front of the chair	About 150 to 170 cm	Feet up for reading or lounging
Pushed against the chair front	About 130 cm	Between uses, or in smaller rooms
Moved to the side	78 cm for the chair	When it is a spare seat or side surface

Allow about 80 cm of width and a 60 cm walkway on the open side. The full measurements for both pieces are on our Barcelona chair dimensions page.

Decide what the ottoman will do

Most of the time it is a footrest. With your legs raised you can settle back and sit for longer, which we explain in is a Barcelona chair comfortable. The back angle of the chair stays fixed, so the set does not recline.

At 42 cm high the ottoman is also close to the height of a normal chair seat. It works as a spare seat when guests come round, or as a low surface for a tray and a few books.

Know what is leather

On every Barcelona leather chair and ottoman we sell, the seating faces are Italian leather: the chair’s seat and back, plus the top of the ottoman. The cushion sides are matching faux leather, which holds the square edges. We say so plainly because many listings do not.

The chair has two cushions and the ottoman one, all hand-tufted into buttoned squares with piped edges over fire-retardant high-resilience foam. Each frame is a single piece of polished stainless steel with double-riveted support straps. Nothing needs building, and the cushions fasten on without tools, as our assembly guide shows.

Barcelona Chair with Footstool or Chair Alone?

The chair is identical in both. What changes is how you use it and how much room it takes.

	Chair with ottoman (this page)	Chair alone
Best for	Your main lounge seat	Accent seat, pairs, reception areas
Sitting position	Upright or feet up	Upright, feet on the floor
When guests come	The ottoman is a spare seat	One seat only
Floor depth	150 to 170 cm in use	78 cm plus a walkway
Adding the ottoman later	Included and matched to the chair	Not offered separately at present

That last row matters. We currently sell the ottoman only as part of a set, and leather dye can vary slightly between production batches. If you think you will want the footstool, order the set so both pieces match.

If you only need an occasional seat, see our Barcelona single chairs without ottoman. For a longer comparison, read Barcelona chair with or without ottoman.

The Barcelona chair and stool have been a pair since 1929

The Mies van der Rohe chair and ottoman were designed together, by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe with Lilly Reich, for the German Pavilion at the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. The chairs were intended for the King and Queen of Spain, and the stools for their attendants. Our history of the 1929 Pavilion tells the full story.

Who the Barcelona Lounge Chair and Ottoman Suits

Your main chair: if you will sit here most evenings, the footstool is what makes a firm, upright seat comfortable for hours.

Reading corners and studies: add a floor lamp and the set makes a complete reading spot, with no sofa needed nearby. A height-adjustable side table finishes it, and our living room styling guide shows the spacing.

Homes that host: the ottoman gives you an extra seat without adding a second chair to the room.

Less suitable if: you want a seat that reclines, or you have under 1.5 metres of depth to spare. For a more laid-back sit, look at our Eames style lounge chair and ottoman, which is built at a deeper recline.

Barcelona Chair and Ottoman FAQs

How much space does a Barcelona chair and ottoman need?

About 150 to 170 cm of floor depth with the ottoman in use, and around 80 cm of width. That is the 78 cm chair plus the 54 cm ottoman, with a 20 to 40 cm gap between them for your legs. Between uses the ottoman can sit against the chair front, which brings the depth down to about 130 cm. Mark it out with masking tape before you order.

Can you sit on a Barcelona ottoman?

Yes. At 42 cm high it is close to normal seat height, so it works as an occasional seat for a guest. It is built on the same steel X-frame and riveted straps as the chair. Use it for sitting and for resting your feet, and do not stand on it.

Can I add the ottoman later?

Not from us at present. We sell the ottoman only with its chair, so that both pieces are upholstered to match. If you are undecided, choosing the set now avoids a mismatched footstool later.

Is a Barcelona ottoman the same as a stool or footstool?

Yes, they are names for one piece. Stool is what the 1929 design was called, footstool is the usual British word, and ottoman is what most shops say today. Whichever word you use, every set on this page includes it.

Is delivery free for both pieces?

Yes. The chair and ottoman are sent as one order, with free delivery across the EU, the UK, Norway and Switzerland. VAT and duties are included in the price, and tracking is sent to you by email.

What if the set does not fit my room?

You have 14 days from delivery to return it. Measure first using the floor depths above, as that prevents most returns. If you are unsure between two colours or layouts, email us before ordering and we will help.
