Black Lacquered Contemporary Gaulinetta Dining Chair by Oscar Tusquets, Gaulino

About the Item

Inspired by Enzo Mari and his Tonietta chair, Oscar Tusquets created an adaptation of his Gaulino: The Gaulinetta. Tusquets’ reduction of the Gaulino armrests generates a sleek model ideal for dining in smaller spaces. The chair can be tucked away following use. By creating a variation of the Thonet chair style, Tusquets followed Mari’s Tonietta style and demonstrated how less can be more. The Story of the orginal Gaulino chair. It started off with one iconic chair 36 years ago. The Gaulino. Now, BD Barcelona and Oscar Tusquets are presenting The Gaulino Collection. Based on the chair, this collection is a refinement of material, detail and sinuous line. It is an example of an icon that lives on, now with a family. Oscar Tusquets, a co-founder of BD Barcelona, designed the Gaulino chair in 1987. This was his most contemporary and influential piece, and it became a Spanish design legend. Tusquets took the imagination and architecture of Antoni Gaudí and blended the sensual line of Carlo Mollino. The combination traced a seat that admired, accommodated, and created “Gaulino”. The Gaulino brought a great modernity to the table. Winning numerous awards and receiving public and critical acclaim, the chair fashioned a new style that influenced a myriad. The Gaulino silhouette has since flowed through a collection of ethically produced, FSC-certified chairs and tables. The Gaulino Collection. The industrially hand-crafted chair cultivated numerous siblings. They embody a passion for contemporary design, one where creative forms meet a depth of knowledge and an attention to detail. The collection includes the Gaulino Easy (which is lighter and lower than its predecessor), the Gaulinetta (which is a slender, armless interpretation), and the Gaulino Stool. The range also expands to a selection of Gaulino wooden dining tables and stained black Carlinas tables topped by smoked glass. Whether left in lacquered ash or dyed black, the wood grain emerges with organic lines. These natural elements are traced throughout. Fibrous limbs meet hand-sewn leather seats. Stretching shapes curve under glass tables. The classic Gaulino was an elegant chair with a story. Now, there is a union of forms. It’s a collection.

  • Gaulino Easy Chair by Oscar Tysquets black lacquered ashwood, contemporary
    By Oscar Tusquets Blanca
    Located in Barcelona, ES
    “The challenge was to design a light armchair, not too high, using wood and leather. At the beginning, it was going in a different direction, but after making various models, prototypes and considering BD’s design team’s different perspectives on the matter, the result has inevitably drawn toward what is now the Gaulino chair, which was designed nearly 30 years ago. We did not envision it so, but the ergonomics and the aesthetic coherence of this piece has taken us toward a solution much like the Gaulino chair, an heiress of Gaudí and Mollino, and have decided to conserve the name.” OSCAR TUSQUETS The Gaulino Easy Chair...
