Passionate about science and an avid space enthusiast, quitllet began his career in the imaginative environment of art school in the balearic islands, followed by a diploma in design and interior design here in barcelona. Back home for the summer, he met philippe starck on formentera, and quickly began work at his agency in paris. Ten years later, after having created some of the most interesting designs of the early ‘00s, he opened his own agency in barcelona. His influences range from science fiction to art nouveau, the odyssey chair being a perfect example of both combined, its kinetic and sculptural qualities coming together in a fluid silhouette to beautifully envelop the human body. Beauty, he says, will save the world after all. 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. Spanish design pioneers 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
