Materials: solid ash timber and tempered smoked glass. Solid ash timber structure, stained black. 1 cm thick tempered smoked glass top. Gaulino family distinctive elements of the gaulino chair run through this set of tables, combining clean, industrial processes with elegant, artisanal materials. Oscar tusquets describes himself as an architect by training, a designer by adaptation, a painter by vocation, and a writer through the desire to make friends. Graduating from barcelona’s escuela técnica superior de arquitectura in 1965, tusquets became a member of studi per. Together, they founded bd in 1972, and he set about designing furniture and objects, soon recognised by the spanish national design award. The gaulino family was born in 1987, the first member of which was a chair, with a commission from an industry specialising in the production of baby cribs. This was tusquets’ first chair in wood, and is a comfortable, beautiful solution that respects the nobility of the material. On completing production, he named the chair after the two men who inspired it: antoni gaudí and carlo mollino. The gualino come to be an icon of spanish design, now accompanied by a family of tables in a number of sizes and finishes. Bd barcelona in 1972, a group of young architects and designers from barcelona started bd. Our aim was to produce and market furniture and objects for our own projects, with complete creative freedom and design criteria—both in shape and in function—that was different from the sector norm. In 1972, a group of young architects and designers from barcelona started bd. Our aim was to produce and market furniture and objects for our own projects, with complete creative freedom and design criteria—both in shape and in function—that was different from the sector norm. We began coming up with designs, inspired by our contemporaries, from ettore sottsass in italy to álvaro siza viera in portugal. Here in spain, we were supported by those seeking something other than what was on the market at the time. These early pieces helped bring international recognition to the country’s design scene, and many of them still exist today. The bd brand has been enriched by all the designs we’ve produced. The result is a sum of many things—memory, tradition, and respect for the classics, as well as talent, innovation, a sense of humour, and a lot of imagination. less
