Josep Maria Jujol was born in Tarragona 16 September 1879. Besides his activities as an architect, he also developed an interesting activity as an artist and as a sculptor in clay, an activity that he taught at the School of Labour Barcelona. The architectural work of Jujol is modest both in regard to dimensions and characteristics of the work to be put into operation but it has no reason to curb his temperament. In fact, the contrast between limited resources and the richness and originality of their work is one of the most exciting aspects of his work. The works mentioned in the left column are the most important, but are only a small part of their business in a large number of small projects spread throughout Catalonia, but especially for the Camp de Tarragona. Josep Maria Jujol died in Barcelona on 1 May 1949.

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.
