In the below example from Segrada Familia, the pillars symbolize trees reaching for the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/2014\/08\/designer-spotlight-designs-inspired-by-antoni-gaudi\/image010\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2491\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2491\" title=\"image010\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/image010-500x269-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"269\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Though he died nearly a century ago, Gaudi&#8217;s obvious influences can still be seen everywhere today, like in the following designs we adore.
