The brand BD Barcelona was founded in 1972 by a talented team of young architects and designers, including Christian Kirichi, Lluis Clotet, Oscar Tusquets, and Pep Bonet. Its popularity quickly grew due to its innovative approach to design, earning the company numerous international awards, including the National Design Award in 1989 and the European Community Design Prize in 1990.
Since its inception, BD Barcelona has become a platform for creative ideas and concepts developed in collaboration with renowned designers and architects worldwide. Notable collaborators include legends such as Muller Van Severen, Jaime Hayon, and Willo Perron.
Each new collection results from continuous exploration and experimentation, allowing the company to offer its clients functional solutions and unique artistic pieces. For example, the Sausage sofa represents a soft, amorphous design that enables various spatial configurations.
While most of BD Barcelona's collections focus on modern design, the company pays homage to its cultural heritage by recognizing the contributions of outstanding masters like Salvador Dalí and Antoni Gaudí. In 2009, BD Barcelona took steps to bring Dalí's unique ideas to life by introducing a limited series of 105 pieces of his extraordinary furniture. This number was chosen deliberately, corresponding to the age at which the remarkable artist would have turned in 2009.
BD Barcelona is also known for creating unique furniture pieces that can transform conventional notions of functionality and aesthetics. For instance, the Explorer tables, designed by Jaime Hayon, were inspired by space rockets.
BD Barcelona is not just a furniture brand; it is a true creative laboratory where design, art, and functionality converge.
