Leda Sculpture Table
Description
The Leda Sculpture Table is both functional and artistic, drawing inspiration from surrealist design. It features a slender brass frame with exaggerated, human-like limbs, giving it a dynamic, almost lifelike quality. The brass is hand-brushed and varnished, adding texture and enhancing its golden sheen. Resting on the frame is a smooth Carrara marble "egg," a nod to Dalí's fascination with dreamlike symbolism and organic forms. The interplay of the curved metallic frame and the solid marble surface creates a striking visual contrast. This table serves as a bold statement piece, ideal for those who appreciate art and imaginative design in their living spaces.

Brand
BD Barcelona
An eclectic edge and quality manufacturing are cornerstones of BD Barcelona, a design collective founded in 1972 by a handful of young buck architects. The initial goal was to realize their own object and furniture design for their respective projects and on their own terms.
This objective continues, yet other designers have entered its stable, both young such as fellow Barcelona-native Cristian Zuzunaga and legacy heroes such as the late Italian superstar Ettore Sottsass. They have brought to market the flights of fancy of Salvador Dali, and taken on modern challenges by reusing leftover materials in a collection called Remix. The stable of celebrated creatives include Jamie Hayon, Oscar Tuesquets, Stephen Burks, Konstantin Grcic and Doshi Levien.
Beauty guided the founding nonconformists from the start, and it still does as they enter their sixth decade in business. Artisanal craftsmanship—all in Barcelona and surrounding parts–and a luxurious sensibility merge with state-of-the-art technologies and an architect’s practicality.
