Gaudí’s own hand served as the mould for a remarkable collection of metalwork fittings conceived in the early 20th century, offering an intimate connection to his design process. Closely involved in every aspect of his architectural projects, Gaudí designed door handles, knobs, and fittings as essential components of the spaces they inhabited, ensuring that even the smallest points of contact carried expressive intent

This collection comprises eight exact reproductions of original fittings created for Casa Milà, Casa Calvet, and Casa Batlló. To develop their forms, Gaudí pressed and pierced clay directly with his hands and fingers, leaving tactile impressions that were then translated into three-dimensional objects. These impressions were subsequently cast in solid brass and finished with a polished surface, preserving the immediacy of the artist’s touch

The resulting handles conform naturally to the human grip, producing shapes that are both ergonomic and sculptural—forms that appear almost to breathe within their brass bodies. The collection includes the Milà No. 1, Batlló No. 2, Milà No. 3, Milà No. 4, Batlló Butterfly, Batlló Butterfly Knob, Batlló Door Handle, as well as the Calvet Peep-hole and Calvet Door Handle

Each work is engraved with Gaudí’s signature and is reproduced by BD Barcelona Design in collaboration with architect David Ferrer, ensuring exceptional fidelity to the originals. Together, these fittings underscore Gaudí’s belief that architecture is experienced through the body, transforming everyday gestures into moments of sculptural and tactile engagement

Antoni Gaudí

Born Catalonia, Spain, 1852

Antoni Gaudí was a Catalan artist and architect whose work achieved a rare synthesis of art, architecture, and design. A leading figure of Modernisme, or Catalan Art Nouveau, Gaudí developed a deeply personal language shaped by Catholic faith, close observation of nature, and an unorthodox, experimental approach that remains groundbreaking today. Internationally recognized as Spain’s most famous architect, he is celebrated for buildings such as the Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló, and Casa Calvet, where structure, ornament, and symbolism are inseparable

Beyond architecture, Gaudí pursued a holistic design practice, remaining closely involved with every decorative element of his projects, including furniture and objects, which he conceived as integral extensions of the architecture itself. His furniture is characterized by expressive, fluid forms that linger between the Baroque and the Surreal, combining ergonomic sensitivity with sculptural presence. Originally designed for interiors such as Casa Calvet (1898–1899) and Casa Batlló (1904), these works include seats, benches, a coat hanger, and a mirror, all articulating a strong dialogue between artisanal structure and the natural world

BD Barcelona Design was the first company to recognize the relevance of Gaudí’s furniture for contemporary designers and to rescue and revive these historic works. Working with exceptional fidelity, BD produces handcrafted reproductions using the same traditional techniques and materials, such as solid varnished oak, employed by Gaudí, capturing the richness of detail and tactile intelligence of the originals

Through BD Barcelona’s stewardship, Gaudí’s furniture continues to affirm his legacy not only as an architect, but as a visionary designer for whom space, object, and human experience formed a unified whole
