I can get you one
but unfortunately it is not cheap. Nor would the shipping to Greece be. I don't know what your budget is, but the Tugendhat has been out of production for a while and not easy to find. This one has arms and is in tan leather. It is a great design and I think much more interesting than the Barcelona chair, if only because it not so ubiquitous and much (and poorly) knocked off.
Also if you are buying a vintage Tugendhat chair, be sure the frame is not torqued or otherwise compromised. They are a cantilevered design and if mistreated or overloaded, they can be stressed or bent.

do you own a tugendhat? i just bought one last month,
in the original tan with knoll sticker on it.
I gave 3000 US dollars i think that was a fair price .
Wright auction had a pair for 9000. and someone on 1st dibs has one for 5800. I think it is really a different chair and glad i bought it.
I love the Barcelona chairs from knoll i gave two to my daughter for her new apt, but these are really different and rich in history.
Not mine
I don't own it. I have a dealer friend who has one. It came with a matched pair of Barcelonas which he has since sold. He's willing to part with the Tugendhat but he wants like 4K. Not outrageous, but not cheap. It has the stainless steel frame and is in excellent condition. Like I said, Knoll no longer makes them so they are of more appeal to collectors. With the arms I think it beats the Barcelona for comfort hands-down.
actually the Tugendhat chai...
actually the Tugendhat chair is more comfortable then the Barcelona chair. as the Barcelona slides you back.
The original Tugendhat chair designed in 1929 for the tugendhat family had arms.
Knoll got permission from Mies in 1948 to make them and decided to make both versions in armless and arms.
Knoll only made them for a short time from 1965 to 1976
most of the ones you see for sale for some reason are of the late 60's early 70's. and one dealer told me who has had several, That he heard that Knoll International only made around 500 of them in a 10 year period ( not very many)
informations
Can you give me more informations about the dealer Pegboard Modern ?
Knoll maybe produces this chair in japan with many other furniture which they don't produce in U.S.A and Europe.

i have wondered that one ...
i have wondered that one myself why they did not make the chair for almost 15 years after the grant.
I never knew that knoll in Japan still makes the chair thanks for letting me know,
I just talk to knoll in NYC they said the chair is made in Japan on a very very limited bases and orders would have to go to a knoll show room in NYC or a International show room
567,0000 Japanese yen = $6,092,98 U.S. dollars is the price quoted per chair with a 4 month delivery.
Delivery charges are additional.
Now I am curious why this chair was never knocked
off in China with all the knockoffs they were making.
every thing you want to k...
