This project is a hallmark on the long tradition of BD’s reproductions of Salvador Dali’s furniture, that started with the Sofa in the form of lips, which was installed in the Sala Mae West of the Theatre Museum in the city of Figueres and that I projected with the Master in 1975.

Later, we edited other furniture and lamps based on projects drawn by Dalí or paintings where they appeared in great detail. This is the case with the Xai. We started from the work Interpretative Project for a Stable-Library, from 1942, where a sheep-table with the characteristic Dalinian drawer appears, and we relied on the exceptional experience and skill of Deyrolle, the Parisian taxidermist who had a close relationship with Salvador Dalí (many of the Dalinian pieces – bears, lions, lobsters, swans… – come from Deyrolle). Apart from the outstanding taxidermy work, special mention must be made of the cabinet-making, in the table, the drawer, and the bronze "little shoes."

With the approval of Fundación Gala-Salvador Dalí, we decided to launch a limited edition of twenty white sheep, and, picking the popular Catalan expression “i un be negre amb potes roses” (which would surely have amused Dalí), a unique black sheep (which sold immediately). Naturally, we started with sheep from the same flock destined for slaughter. Since they were slightly different, each table is, in fact, a unique piece.
