Today we feature Molly’s favourite architect, designer: Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi was a Spanish architect of the late nineteenth century. Most of his work is located in Barcelona. His most important project is the Sagrada Familia – a cathedral which was started in 1882 and is set to be finished in 2026 and is the most visited monument of all of Spain.
His work is said to be organic and natural forms. His creations are of the same period as Art Nouveau and one can certainly appreciate that yes there are curves and sometimes similar curves but not quite the same curves. Seven of his pieces have been declared World heritage Sites by UNESCO. It seems his furniture has never been produced since the originals were created and so a cool $18,000 can get you a chair.
Previously featured architects Eberhard Zeidler, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier.
