Tiger Art Gaulino chair
Óscar Tusquets describes the Tiger Art Gaulino Easy Chair in his own words: "A limited edition of 50 unique pieces, where the seat was individually painted by me with interpretations of a tiger skin. This special edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of BD on the one hand and the year of the tiger in China on the other. The leather is minimally modified. It is not "pressed" and thus preserves the imperfections of the animal. The frame is stained to show the natural grain of the ash wood."
Ash wood and leather are the materials from which the Tiger Art Gaulino Easy armchair is made. While the ash wood black is stained to preserve the natural grain of the wood, great importance is also attached to authenticity when processing the leather. The grain of the leather is also preserved in its original state. Each seat is hand-painted by Óscar Tusquets with the Optik of a tiger skin.

In the 1970s, the Spanish architect and founding member of BD BarcelonaÓscar Tusquets Blanca, to his fellow countryman, the surrealist Salvador Dalí. BD Barcelona 's relationship with the art world is deeply rooted in the beginnings of the Spanish entrepreneur and began in 1972 with Salvador Dalí, one of the greatest painters of the 20th century. Between 1972 and 1974, the Spanish grand master developed the "Saliva sofa" together with Óscar Tusquets, the legendary art sofa inspired by the lips of the American film actress Mae West - actually Mary Jane West - which was produced for the Mae West Hall in the Theater Museum in Figueras. The first prototype was created in 1973, but it was not until thirty years later, in 2004, that it was to be launched as the "Dalilips" sofa will be available.
The Gaulino Chair also dates from the early 21st century, namely from 2010. Gaulino is a armchair that - for all its comfort - appears light. This is achieved through a lower backrest and the omission of anything superfluous. In this way, the Gaulino chair offers a different way of sitting. The shape of the Gaulino Tiger Art Chair is inspired by the more massive designs of Antoni Gaudí and Carlo Mollino. The Gaulino Easy Chair takes its name from these two outstanding Spanish architects. The Gaulino armchair is ideal both as a comfortable, exclusive dining chair and as a solitaire for a visitor in the office. The Tiger Art Gaulino Easy Chair, on the other hand, is a collector's item that delights its owner like a painting or an art object.
