Antoni Gaudi, Calvet Door Handle, Polished Solid Brass, Spain, Modernism

About the Item

Before reissuing Gaudí’s furniture, BD, together with the architect David Ferrer, faithfully reproduced some of the metalwork pieces designed by Gaudí between 1902 and 1910 for Casa Calvet and Batlló. Also those of Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera. All are engraved with Gaudí’s signature and have been in production since 1978. An assortment of early 20th-century metalwork fixtures are cast from Gaudí's hand. Metalwork fixtures were created by Antoni Gaudí for his diverse architectural creations. Eight fittings in this collection are exact replicas of items that were originally created for the Casa Milà, Calvet, and Batlló. Gaudí used his hands and fingers to crush or penetrate clay to create an impression of his hand, which was subsequently cast in polished brass. The handles form a distinctive, ergonomic design that seems to breathe in its brass body as they adapt to the grasp of a human hand. A company that has always attributed such great importance to the author of the designs could never forget the great figures in history. That is why the BD catalogue of contemporary creations has always included those by admired classical masters. Antoni Gaudí (1852/1926) 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. The admiration felt by modern designers for the furniture designed by Gaudí has not gone unnoticed by BD which was the first company to rescue them from history by embarking on their serial production using traditional art and craft techniques and the same materials –varnished solid oak– in order to reproduce all the rich detail displayed by the originals when they were first produced. Antoni Gaudí (1852 - 1926) is among the most internationally famous Spanish architects, his unorthodox approach is still considered ground-breaking to this day. His ingenious architectural solutions saw him getting involved him with all the decorative elements of his projects, including furniture. Over the years the great admiration of many modern designers for Gaudí furniture was understood by BD, which 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.
