Antoni Gaudí was one of the most singular and radical figures in architecture between the 19th and 20th centuries, developing a design language that transcends the boundaries between art, architecture, and design. Born in Reus, Spain, in 1852, his work is rooted in an organic conception of form, inspired by natural processes, materials, and artisanal construction. In the furnishings and objects he designed for Casa Calvet, Gaudí applied these principles at a domestic scale, creating furniture and functional elements as a coherent extension of the architecture. Each piece was conceived in relation to the space, the body, and its use, transforming function into a plastic expression and contributing to a unified environment where structure, decoration, and everyday life merge into a total living experience.
