Barcelona Table

Studio MK27 and +55design

Short description

Inspired by Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Barcelona Pavilion, this table reinterprets two architectural elements that define the monument’s timeless aesthetic. The cross-shaped pillars are echoed in the structure of its four metal legs, while the vibrant marbles—carefully selected for the tabletops—reflect the bold materiality of the Pavilion.

The table stems from a simple idea, with minimal components—yet simplicity is often the hardest to achieve. The greatest challenge was designing an expansive surface without compromising visual lightness, all while keeping the legs at its extremities. The result is a succinct, modern, and clean design, where the cross-shaped legs support tabletops spanning up to 3.30 meters with effortless sophistication. After months of experimentation and refinement, the result translates the essence of the modernist movement.

As a design created by a designer and for a brand deeply connected to its roots, a touch of Brazilian identity shines through in the choice of stones—exclusively sourced from local quarries: Yellow Bamboo, Donatello, Pinot Grigio, and Oak Bamboo. Additionally, the table is entirely produced domestically, crafted with pride in a local factory by skilled professionals.

This design is more than a piece of furniture—it is a tribute to modernist principles, marrying Brazilian heritage with architectural elegance.
