The designer Oscar Tussquets Blanca said " In this work, some critics detected my admiration for Salvador Dalí but, when I saw it finished, I thought that the clearest influences came from Antoni Gaudí and Carlo Mollino: this is why the chair was called Gaulino. It was my first really industrial project in wood; I learned and enjoyed it very much and I think it is one of my best works."
