Exhibition "Gaudí & trencadís"

Casa Milà Segimon, La Pedrera (Barcelona, 1906-1911). Shape Over Colour

Baked Materials (ceramic, porcelain)

The difference in shades of white stands out. At that time, this colour was one of the most difficult to obtain, because the base of the enamel was always contaminated, resulting in different shades. This can be seen by comparing it with the pure white of the valuable china of the crockery.

Casa Milà Segimon, generally known as La Pedrera, is a new construction that occupies a large corner. The developers were Pere Milà i Camps and Roser Segimon i Artells. Trencadís applications can be found at the stair exits and the chimneys on the roof. Gaudí plays with the infinite possibilities of white in stone and ceramic, breaking with the chromatics he had previously experimented with.
