Design: Salvador
Dalí / Year: 1935-1937
During the ‘thirties in Paris, Salvador Dalí surrounded himself with a
circle of friends involved in the application of art to varied disciplines,
above and beyond the study of pure pictorial art. Jean-Michel Frank, a
furniture maker and decorator of prestige in the Paris of those years, was on very good terms
with Dalí and together they worked on several ideas. In the 1990s a group of experts,
led by Oscar Tusquets, set themselves the task of turning the furniture Dalí
had drawn for Jean-Michel Frank into reality. Amongst these items were the Leda
chair and low table, taken from the painting Femme à la tête rose
(1935). The prototypes were made by the sculptor Joaquim Camps and Bd Barcelona
design organized the production.
The Leda Table and Chair (Mesa baja y Sillón Leda) are available in limited edition, cast in brass using the lost wax method.
