The challenge was to design a light, low armchair made of wood and leather. Initially, it was headed in a different direction, but after several models, prototypes, and discussions with the BD design team, the design inevitably started to resemble the Gaulino chair I had designed almost thirty years earlier. We didn’t anticipate it this way, but the piece’s ergonomics and aesthetic coherence led us to a solution so close to the Gaulino, so much an inheritor to Gaudí and Molino, that we decided to keep the name.
