Antoni Gaudí
Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) was a Catalan artist and architect that struck an ethereal balance between art, architecture and design. A leader and icon of Modernisme (also known as the Catalan art nouveau), Gaudí’s stunning forms reflected his individualistic style, his faith, and his passion for nature.
BD presents a collection of Antoni Gaudí’s expressive and fluid design pieces. They linger between the Baroque and the Surreal, and were originally designed for the Casa Calvet (constructed in 1898-1899) and Casa Batlló (designed in 1904). Both buildings provided a base for Gaudí to artfully compose furniture with elegance and sturdiness. Featuring a range of seats, benches, a coat hanger and a mirror, they explore a synergy between artisanal structure and the natural world. They are exact reproductions of the original designs, handcrafted and emphasising his attention to utility within abstract and naturalistic structures.
Made in varnished oak, the sinuous and sensuous surfaces flow with a presence reminiscent of tree trunks, twisting limbs and breathing bodies.
