BD Barcelona GAULINETTA Stackable ash chair
The Gaulinetta is an evolution of the Gaulino chair. Inspired by Enzo Mari and his Tonietta chair, Oscar Tusquets created an adaptation of his Gaulino: The Gaulinetta. Tusquets’ reduction of the Gaulino armrests generates a sleek model ideal for dining in smaller spaces. The chair can be tucked away following use. By creating a variation of the Thonet chair style, Tusquets followed Mari’s Tonietta style and demonstrated how less can be more.

It started off with one iconic chair 36 years ago. The Gaulino. Now, BD Barcelona and Oscar Tusquets are presenting The Gaulino Collection. Based on the chair, this collection is a refinement of material, detail and sinuous line. It is an example of an icon that lives on, now with a family. Oscar Tusquets, a co-founder of BD Barcelona, designed the Gaulino chair in 1987. This was his most contemporary and influential piece, and it became a Spanish design legend. Tusquets took the imagination and architecture of Antoni Gaudí and blended the sensual line of Carlo Mollino. The combination traced a seat that admired, accommodated, and created “Gaulino”. The Gaulino brought a great modernity to the table. Winning numerous awards and receiving public and critical acclaim, the chair fashioned a new style that influenced a myriad. The Gaulino silhouette has since flowed through a collection of ethically produced, FSC-certified chairs and tables. The Gaulino Collection. The industrially hand-crafted chair cultivated numerous siblings. They embody a passion for contemporary design, one where creative forms meet a depth of knowledge and an attention to detail. The collection includes the Gaulino Easy (which is lighter and lower than its predecessor), the Gaulinetta (which is a slender, armless interpretation), and the Gaulino Stool. The range also expands to a selection of Gaulino wooden dining tables and stained black Carlinas tables topped by smoked glass. Whether left in lacquered ash or dyed black, the wood grain emerges with organic lines. These natural elements are traced throughout. Fibrous limbs meet hand-sewn leather seats. Stretching shapes curve under glass tables. The classic Gaulino was an elegant chair with a story. Now, there is a union of forms. It’s a collection.
