Barberini & Gunnell Chaise Longues

The sculptural chaise longue 'Golem' is an imposing sculpture, made up of hollow stainless steel spheres, welded one by one by hand and mirror polished. A sinuous top cuts the group of spheres creating the chaise longue, on which you can lie down. The set of spheres creates distorted and fascinating reflections. The sculpture can also be positioned outdoors, giving its best when it reflects the sky and the surrounding greenery. The "Golem" Chaise Longue was chosen for the set of "The Devil Wears Prada 2", together with the "Alpemare" Chair and "Cascata" Side Table, two other iconic pieces from our collection. Dimensions: L 210 x W 113 x H 77 cm. Limited Edition of 6. Each sculptural chaise longue is hand signed and numbered by the artists (engraved). 100% handmade in Italy, comes with a “Certificate of Authenticity”. This sculpture takes shape from the ancient legend, a mass of shapeless steel, like a mountain capable of transmitting stillness but also a deep sense of respect, because now it seems to be docile, dormant, at the service of man, but beware, we do not know for how long. Raw material, formless, existence that precedes the essence. Steel melts, roaring bangs, joins violent piece on piece, sphere on sphere; unformed aggregate of cold steel material, disquieting monster. Imperfection leads to transformation, slowly forms, shines and silently begins to live. What was created was the first spirit and idea of man who is now reflected on his polished steel, the dark monster that, observing it, will see the reflection of his evil soul. Amorphous material devoid of soul, devoid of emotions, of life. The chaise longue golem was published in the Interior Design New York magazine in October 2017. 'Golem' was shown at the following art fairs: -The Salon Art + Design, New York, 2018 -ArtMiami, Miami, 2018 -Pad Monaco, Monte Carlo, 2019 -Pieruga Art exhibition, 2019 - Alpemare, Bocelli's family Beach...
