Description

Carved from solid varnished oak, the chair's intricate details reflect Gaudí's fascination with nature and fluid forms. Its heart-shaped backrest is a standout feature, framed by gently curved edges that create an inviting and harmonious silhouette. The armrests extend gracefully outward in smooth, sinuous lines, providing both visual balance and comfort. Below, the chair stands on four uniquely shaped legs, each subtly angled and sculpted to enhance stability while maintaining an artistic presence. The armchair is not just furniture but a piece of design history, embodying Gaudí’s innovative spirit.

BD Barcelona

An eclectic edge and quality manufacturing are cornerstones of BD Barcelona, a design collective founded in 1972 by a handful of young buck architects. The initial goal was to realize their own object and furniture design for their respective projects and on their own terms.

This objective continues, yet other designers have entered its stable, both young such as fellow Barcelona-native Cristian Zuzunaga and legacy heroes such as the late Italian superstar Ettore Sottsass. They have brought to market the flights of fancy of Salvador Dali, and taken on modern challenges by reusing leftover materials in a collection called Remix. The stable of celebrated creatives include Jamie Hayon, Oscar Tuesquets, Stephen Burks, Konstantin Grcic and Doshi Levien.

Beauty guided the founding nonconformists from the start, and it still does as they enter their sixth decade in business. Artisanal craftsmanship—all in Barcelona and surrounding parts–and a luxurious sensibility merge with state-of-the-art technologies and an architect’s practicality.
