Elegance Redefined: The Leda Low Table by Dalí and BD – Artistry in Every Detail
About the Item
Introducing the captivating Leda Low Table, a stunning embodiment of artistry and design that seamlessly merges functionality with elegance. Crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, this exquisite piece stands as a testament to Salvador Dalí's visionary collaboration with renowned furniture maker and decorator Jean-Michel Frank during the vibrant artistic scene of 1930s Paris.
The Leda Low Table is a masterpiece that exudes sophistication and refinement in every element. Supported by legs cast in a lustrous varnish brass, the table's base boasts a sense of timeless luxury. The tabletop, brushed and adorned with a varnished brass finish, radiates an enchanting allure. Crowning this masterpiece is a Carrara marble egg, a nod to Dalí's penchant for combining unexpected elements with artistic flair.
Measuring an impressive 51 x 190 x 61 H.cm, the Leda Low Table commands attention with its commanding presence. Its dimensions are not merely measurements, but rather a testament to the grandeur of the design.
Delve into the rich history behind this creation, where Salvador Dalí and Jean-Michel Frank's creative camaraderie brought forth a unique vision that transcended traditional boundaries. This table, inspired by the painting "Femme à la tête rose" (1935), is a realization of Dalí's multifaceted talents as a designer, extending beyond conventional furnishing elements to embrace tap fittings, handles, and even printed fabrics.
Each Leda Low Table is a symphony of craftsmanship, meticulously crafted by the hands of skilled artisans. Their touch infuses every piece with a sense of individuality and artistry, ensuring that no two tables are alike. Celebrating the human element in creation, subtle variations in texture, small scratches, and nuanced differences in the brass finish emerge, bearing witness to the dedication invested in each masterpiece.
These unique qualities, such as occasional stains or subtle tonal variations on the surface, weave a tale of authenticity and charm. Embracing these nuances elevates the Leda Low Table from mere furniture to a cherished sculptural masterpiece that tells the story of its creation. Mass-produced alternatives pale in comparison to the organic beauty of handcrafted pieces that exude timeless elegance and soulful character.
Enrich your space with the Leda Low Table, a harmonious blend of history, art, and craftsmanship that resonates with connoisseurs of beauty and aficionados of the extraordinary.

Salvador Dalí
Instantly recognizable by his waxed, upturned mustache, the flamboyant Salvador Dalí is one of modern art’s most distinctive figures. He is also one of the icons of the 20-century avant-garde Surrealist movement, whose dreamlike images, drawn from the depths of the unconscious, he deployed in paintings, sculptures, prints and fashion, as well as in film collaborations with Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock.
Dalí was born in Figueres, Catalonia, and even as a youngster, displayed the sensitivity, sharp perception and vivid imagination that would later define his artworks. In these, he conjured childhood memories and employed religious symbols and Freudian imagery like staircases, keys and dripping candles to create unexpected, often shocking pieces.
Dalí's use of hyperrealism in conveying Surrealist symbols and concepts that subvert accepted notions of reality is epitomized in what is perhaps his most recognizable painting, The Persistence of Memory (1931), in which he depicts the fluidity of time through melting clocks, their forms inspired by Camembert cheese melting in the sun. His artistic genius, eccentric personality and eternal quest for fame made him a global celebrity.
“Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure,” he once said. “That of being Salvador Dalí.”
