Calvet armchair by Antonio Gaudi, solid oak, modernist Spanish design
About the Item
Antoni Gaudí is globally admired beyond the realm of architecture, entering into pieces like the Calvet armchair. Designed in 1900-1901 for the Calvet House in Barcelona, the oak armchair is handcrafted the same way it was in Gaudi’s time. Five pieces are fitted together to form the thick neck, arched handles and heartshaped backrest of the carving body that explores Gaudi’s unique artistry and expressive force.
The chair is numbered and accompanied by a certificate signed by the director of the Gaudí Cathedra, certifying that it is a faithful and exact reproduction of the original designed by Antoni Gaudí.
Equipped with quality and history, the Calvet armchair is not without style.
Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) is among the most internationally famous Spanish architects, and his unorthodox approach is still considered ground-breaking to this day.
He was closely involved with all the decorative elements of his projects, including furniture. BD understood modern designers’ appreciation for Gaudí’s furniture, and was the first company to rescue these historical artefacts, creating a handcrafted series of reproductions using the same materials, varnished solid oak, including a whole wealth of details used in the manufacture of the originals.
At BD contemporary creations have always gone hand-in-hand with those of the revered classical masters. Its re-editions of designs by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Adolf Loos, Josef Hoffmann and Giuseppe Terragni were already very well known. However, even more outstanding is the work behind the first production of the fascinating furniture created by Gaudí for some of his more iconic works.

Antoni Gaudí
Antoni Gaudí is, without doubt, the most internationally well-known Spanish architect. But is not only his buildings and brilliant architectural solutions that have travelled the globe. His integrated conception of architecture led him to pay attention, not only to structural calculations but also to all the decorative elements, including furniture, that would form part of the building.
