Hi everyone, When Anna asked me to participate in furniture Friday I didn't have to think for long about what favorite piece of icon furniture I would love and long to own, Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona daybed.

 

 This piece was added to the collection in 1930 a year after the chair and stool,but it didn't gain popularity until the famous architect Philip Johnson purchased it for his NY apartment. Today it is still enjoying a good dose of popularity due to the simplicity in shape and form,which is why I am so in love with this piece. The Barcelona daybed can fit into any decor and in any room in the house where there is space, and is not just meant for modern interiors. It looks great and plays well with other pieces from different time periods and adds that chic sexy element to a room,and yet because the structure of this daybed is so pure and simple it can stand on it's own in a room with nothing more then itself. The only downside I can see to having this piece is what color to choose it in!
