Restaurant Le Dali, Hotel Meurice (Paris) Dalí’s genius has not gone unnoticed by another genius, Philippe Starck, who for some years has been placing his pieces inside the hotels he designs, together with those by Dalí, also reissued by Bd, for the delight of guests. As a result, his 2008 refurbishment of the famous Hotel Le Meurice in Paris, Salvador Dalí’s favourite during his long stays in the French capital, simply had to feature Surrealist furniture. Working with his daughter Ara, Starck has named the hotel restaurant after the Spanish painter: Le Dalí. The Leda chair, produced as a worldwide exclusive by Bd, could not find a better home to honour the memory of its creator. Dalí drew it in 1935 for the painting entitled “Femme à la tête rose” and Bd began production of it in the 1990s, under the direction of Oscar Tusquets. Cast in polished and varnished brass, as though it were a sculpture, it scrupulously respects the Surrealist instructions of its creator, who liked to say that a chair could even be used to sit on.
