BD BARCELONA
In 1972, a group of young architects and designers from Barcelona created BD with the aim of producing and marketing furniture and other objects for our projects, with complete creative freedom and with a criterion that has turned out to be quite different from the norm at companies in the sector, regarding both the shape and function. The BD brand, which means Barcelona Design, has been enriched by all the designs they’ve produced, and it is the heterogeneous result of the sum of many things, including talent and a sense of humour, openness to cultures and respect for the classics. Memory, tradition, innovation and much imagination. The most sustainable design is one that lasts commercially over time or one that is inherited because of its emotional value. Through projects such as REmix, they reconvert the remains of components that are generated during production processes, thereby giving them a new life. They encourage other manufacturers to do the same. The founders and still current owners oriented production based on cultivating beauty, right from the beginning. In some cases giving priority to beauty over function, while combining artisan processes with industrial technologies, venturing on the luxury of things well done and distancing themselves from mass production. About to turn 50, they continue to have the same nonconformist spirit they had at the outset, working with some of the best designers on the planet and with others who will be, to continue learning and surprising every year. They combine art with functionality to offer unique pieces with a strong personality.
