CALVET ARMCHAIR

For Casa Calvet designed Antoni Gaudí a selection of tables, chairs – with and without armrests, benches, stools, shelves and paintings – undoubtedly the largest and most homogeneous collection of furniture that Antoni Gaudí designed in his entire creative period. Casa Calvet Gaudí's first residential building in Barcelona was awarded the prize for best building in 1900. Calvet Armchair, like the other furniture from the Calvet collection, are on display at the Gaudí Museum in Parc Güell in Barcelona.

Furniture that Antoni Gaudí designed for his houses Casa Batlló and designed by Casa Calvet, are manufactured using the exact same elaborate production processes that were used to produce the first pieces. In addition to the chairs named after the houses, „Batlló Chair“ and „Calvet Armchair“, „Calvet Chair“, the „Calvet mirror“and the „Calvet wall wardrobe“, it is also stylistic elements such as door handles, door levers and peepholes, so-called „spies“, that make Gaudí’s unique Modernisme design style tangible in one’s own four walls.

The Calvet Armchair resembles a sculpture more than a chair. Although made of solid oak, its delicate and elegant design prevents it from appearing bulky or heavy. Splayed rear legs give the Calvet Armchair a stable base. A seat that curves gently towards the front edge provides the sitter with extra space. Together with the richly ornamented backrest, this gives the chair a sophisticated and elegant look. Calvet chair a certain dynamic and is reminiscent of what we know today as "chair ergonomics".
