Details

Lluís Clotet and Oscar Tusquets designed their famous A Sardinel mailboxes in 1975, when they still worked together as Studi Per. That mailbox design was tall, narrow and deep. It was to be fitted a sardinel, that is to say, edgewise like bricks in a building or like an encyclopedia on a shelf, forming an orderly block. In this way it offered a larger capacity than traditional mailboxes, while visually occupying much less space. Its chief novelty lay in the fact that it was filled from the top, something that became important when people began to receive the first subscriptions to newspapers and magazines at home. Over the years the design evolved and was improved until the current Tres Cuatro Cinco was reached.

Born in Barcelona in 1941. He graduated in architecture from the Barcelona School of Architecture in 1965. In this school he taught from 1977 to 1984. Drawing In the years 95/96 and 96/97 it has has been visiting professor at the Aula PFC and Projects I and II teacher in the years 97/98, 98/99 and 99/00. In 1964, he founded the Studio PER with architects Pep Bonet, Cristian Cirici and Oscar Tusquets. The latest work on several projects until 1983. In 1984, the partners with Ignacio Paricio gathers to allow architectural production.

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.
