Dalí’s creativity and fascination with the human
body takes the form of a sunbed, intimately
created and exquisitely designed. Dalí’s original
Portlligat was made in 1962 from olive tree wood
for him and his wife Gala’s home in Costa Brava,
Spain. This reproduction is available in Iroko
wood which is resistant to changes in heat and
moisture content, and optional upholstery for
outdoor use. It resembles a body: it has a head,
torso, ribs, arms, hands, legs and feet. The visible
grain and unified structure present a strong and
meaningfully arranged, figurative piece.
