The Calvet Stool reflects Gaudí’s ability to distill architectural thinking into a compact and purposeful object. Designed as part of the furniture ensemble for Casa Calvet, the stool demonstrates how Gaudí approached even the most modest pieces with the same rigor, sensitivity, and expressive intent as his buildings

Its form is defined by rich, flowing contours, where the varnished oak grain curves upward into a subtly cornered backrest. Decorative elements are deliberately restrained, allowing the inherent beauty of the material and the precision of craftsmanship to take precedence. The stool’s symmetrical structure rests on three legs, enabling it to nest naturally into a corner while maintaining a strong sculptural presence

The dark mass of solid wood is carefully balanced by the stool’s proportions, creating a sense of visual lightness despite its material density. This interplay of weight and fluidity exemplifies Gaudí’s bold, organic, and quietly eccentric design language

Each Calvet Stool is individually numbered and accompanied by a certificate signed by the Director of the Gaudí Cathedra, certifying it as a faithful and exact reproduction of Antoni Gaudí’s original design

BIOGRAPHY

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
