Buffets and Cabinets Blog brings you today a very special cabinet design – a stuffed lamb with a table on its back and a drawer in its side. This is the latest addition to a collection of furniture based on the paintings of Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí.
Their designer Oscar Tusquets Blanca referenced an image of a lamb with a telephone balanced on its spine and sliding storage in its stomach from Dalí’s 1942 painting Interpretation Project for a Stable-Library.
“We broke up the Interpretation Project for a Stable-Library painting where there appears a characteristic Dalí drawer, made up of a little lamb-table,” said Tusquets Blanca.
Twenty-one lambs were chosen from a Parisian slaughterhouse and sent to taxidermist Maison Deyrolle, where Dalí was a frequent customer during his lifetime.
The limited-edition set includes 20 white lambs priced at €36,500 (£30,350) each and a unique black piece costs €72,000 (£59,900). The tables were commissioned by Spanish company BD Barcelona Design.
