Antoni Gaudí is globally admired beyond the
realm of architecture, entering into pieces like the
Calvet armchair. Designed in 1900-1901 for the
Calvet House in Barcelona, the oak armchair is
handcrafted the same way it was in Gaudi’s time.
Five pieces are fitted together to form the thick
neck, arched handles and heartshaped backrest
of the carving body that explores Gaudi’s unique
artistry and expressive force.
The chair is numbered and accompanied by a
certificate signed by the director of the Gaudí
Cathedra, certifying that it is a faithful and exact
reproduction of the original designed by Antoni
Gaudí. Equipped with quality and history, the
Calvet armchair is not without style.
