There are a lot of hack Barcelona chairs on the market out there, I should say a lot of cheap Barcelona chairs.  But if you want the real thing, look no further than hivemodern.com with their line of Barcelona chairs made be Knoll.  A set of these chairs will make your space insta-modern.  Here is a link to their Barcelona chair page

Created by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the German Pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona Exposition, the Barcelona chair features the pure compositional structure that now epitomizes Modern architecture. From the hand-buffed stainless steel or chromed frame to the individual leather squares carefully welted together, each Barcelona chair is a tribute to traditional craftmanship and meticulous attention to detail. Knoll is the only authorized and licensed manufacturer of the Barcelona Collection since 1953. Mies van der Rohe’s signature is stamped into the frame of each piece to guarantee authenticity. Knoll has received trademark protection for the designs created by Mies van der Rohe, a Barcelona chair not manufactured by Knoll is a counterfeit.

Seat and back cushions adapt to fit the curve of the frame. Frame is welded in a single-piece construction from a single stainless steel block for ultimate durability. The stainless steel is hand-buffed or chrome plated to a mirror finish. Individual leather panels are cut, hand-welted and hand-tufted, and panels and buttons are crafted from a single hide.
