Art Nouveau style chair Calvet

oakoak baseby Antoni Gaudí

In contrast with what happened in general to almost all the Modernista furniture which ended up going out of fashion, furniture designed by Gaudí is still as modern today as it was when it was first designed. Perhaps this is because it is more reminiscent of sculpture than mere benches and chairs. The Calvet armchair is outstanding amongst these designs because of its expressive force. It was designed along with four other pieces –a stool, a mirror, a chair and a bench– for the house of the same name. It is numbered and accompanied by a certificate, signed by the director of the Gaudí Cathedra, certifying that they are a faithful and exact reproduction of the original designed by Antoni Gaudí. Solid varnished oak or waxed natural solid oak.
