Leda Chair
Black Label
By Salvador Dalí
Chair reimagined
Dalí affirmed: “A chair can be used even to sit on, but only on one condition: That we sit uncomfortably.” We can sit on the Leda, but due to the fact that it only has three legs and that the chair is heavy, it being made of solid brass, is more a work of art than a functional piece of furniture.
Femme à tête de roses
Taken from ‘Femme à tête de roses’ (1935) (Woman with a head of roses). It was sufficient for this sculpture to be made as a three dimensional piece, remaining faithful to every detail in Dalí’s painting.
Finishes
Structure of brass by lost-wax casting, made in various parts; which are welded together, forming the structure. The parts have a polished, glossy surface, and include a clear, 25-micron varnish based on high-strength epoxy resins, air dried.
