About the Item

Originally designed by Spanish Modernist Architect Antoni Gaudí in 1907, to be placed in the dining room of Casa Batlló, the Batlló Chair was one of the first signs of ergonomic furniture. Its design presents a reduction of the structure to the bare minimum and an adaptation of the shape to the human body, resulting in a high level of comfort. There is a notable lack of straight lines. The wings on the back make the chair easy to move around. The legs are seemingly straight, but in fact they have a slight curvature near the bottom. Made of solid varnished French oak, the chair is numbered - by way of carving under the seat - certifying that it is a faithful and exact reproduction of the original designed by Antoni Gaudí.

Batlló Chair With Solid Varnished Oak By Antoni Gaudí, Spanish modernism
By Antoni Gaudí
Located in Barcelona, ES
Solid varnished oak. 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. The Batlló chair...
