With measurements of 26 × 16 × 12 cm, it is ideal for display in design collections, bookshelves or desks.

Gaudí, a pioneer of ergonomic furniture design

Executed in the Casas y Bardés workshops with ash wood, they present anatomical shapes that seem to be molded from the mark left by the body when sitting down. Gaudí was a precursor of ergonomic designs, breaking with academic repertoires and anticipating industrial design.
