Sottsass Associati is a design studio internationally recognised in the world of architecture and design with more than 25 years of experience. The studio was founded by the Architect and Designer Ettore Sottsass Jr. and has been acknowledged by a series of cultural and professional institutions. Structured as a network of European professionals with administrative offices in England and operating offices in Milan, the studio is now guided by the two remaining associates, Christopher Redfern (British) and Ernest Mourmans (Belgian).

Since its origins in the 1970’s, BD has always been an atypical company. Its founders and still current owners, who come from an architectural background rather than the business field, have oriented BD’s production from the very start by cultivating beauty, in some cases above their function. Accompanied with artisanal processes instead of mass production, the new products always have more proximity to art than industrial design. Characterised by superior quality, short-series productions (and on occasion limited editions), and unique pieces due to crafted manufacturing. In the 80’s, BD pleasantly surprised by editing Gaudí’s furniture for his famous buildings and in the early 90’s, BD again astounded by introducing an exclusive first collection of furniture and lamps designed by Dalí. Recently the Collections and Designers with an accentuated artistic profile like Jaime Hayon and Doshi Levien, continue to point the way where design and art meet together.
