“XAI” Nightstand,
The concept for the pieces was derived from the artist’s 1942 painting “Interpretation Project for a Stable–Library,” in which a young woman nestles among sheep and lambs on the floor of a study-cum-barn. To her right, one of the lambs serves as a nightstand, with a drawer in its flank and a telephone on its back.
BD Barcelona created 20 individual white and one black sheep in collaboration with the famed Parisian taxidermy firm Deyrolle, which had worked on multiple projects with Dalí throughout his career.
The skins were ethically sourced from a meat-processing plant, so no animals were sacrificed for these works.
The name of the design, Xai, is Catalan for “Lamb.”
