Wood and Iron

For the presentation of the Gaulino collection at the Vinçon gallery, in 1987, we planned to recreate the skeleton of an imaginary sea monster: a Gaulisaurus. Since the chair components resembled bones, we could imagine the animal from which they came. Uli Marchsteiner, who collaborated throughout the process, took a photograph of the animal's remains stranded on the shore, which we used as the invitation for the exhibition. The dismantled skeleton remained for 35 years in the storage of our Foundation. When the collection of chairs and tables was reissued in 2023, revised and expanded, we decided to restore it and hang it in the Doric porch of our headquarters: a complex and delicate task, but one that we thoroughly enjoyed.
