Description
The Sunbed is a distinctive outdoor piece inspired by Dalí's residence in Costa Brava. Its organic shape mimics human anatomy, with a structure resembling a head, torso, ribs, arms, hands, and legs. The frame is made from solid Iroko wood, known for its durability in outdoor settings, and features polyamide wheels for easy mobility. For added comfort, an optional upholstered cushion with water-repellent foam is available, and the fabric cover is removable for easy cleaning, making it weather-resistant. This sunbed is part of BD Barcelona’s Art Editions collection and faithfully reflects Dalí's original design. It is available in a numbered series, offering a blend of visual intrigue and relaxation that merges surrealist art with outdoor practicality.

Brand
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.
