The Leda Table and Chair (Mesa baja y Sillón Leda)

During the ‘thirties in Paris, Salvador Dalí surrounded himself with a circle of friends involved
in the application of art to varied disciplines, above and beyond the study of pure pictorial art.
Jean-Michel Frank, a furniture maker and decorator of prestige in the Paris of those years,
was on very good terms with Dalí and together they worked on several ideas. In the 1990s a
group of experts, led by Oscar Tusquets, set themselves the task of turning the furniture Dalí
had drawn for Jean-Michel Frank into reality. Amongst these items were the Leda chair and
low table, taken from the painting
Femme à la tête rose
(1935). The prototypes were made by
the sculptor Joaquim Camps and Bd Barcelona design organized the production.
