Materials: solid ash wood and stained black wood. Shelving and base in solid ash wood and turned vertical supports in stained black wood.classical principles of architecture inform this simple unit of shelves, bringing together horizontal and vertical elements in perfect harmony. Columnata took its name from its underlying inspiration and a frequent reference in tusquets’ work, the column. Within this vertical structure, the horizontal shelves can be arranged in various formations— symmetrical and asymmetrical, wall-hung or free-standing. The final units are functional and refined, ideal for book-lovers and anyone who enjoys such compositional harmony. Oscar tusquets describes himself as an architect by training, a designer by adaptation, a painter by vocation, and a writer through the desire to make friends. Graduating from barcelona’s escuela técnica superior de arquitectura in 1965, tusquets became a member of studi per. Together, they founded bd in 1972, and he set about designing furniture and objects, soon recognised by the spanish national design award. Bd barcelona in 1972, a group of young architects and designers from barcelona started bd. Our aim was to produce and market furniture and objects for our own projects, with complete creative freedom and design criteria—both in shape and in function—that was different from the sector norm. In 1972, a group of young architects and designers from barcelona started bd. Our aim was to produce and market furniture and objects for our own projects, with complete creative freedom and design criteria—both in shape and in function—that was different from the sector norm. We began coming up with designs, inspired by our contemporaries, from ettore sottsass in italy to álvaro siza viera in portugal. Here in spain, we were supported by those seeking something other than what was on the market at the time. These early pieces helped bring international recognition to the country’s design scene, and many of them still exist today. The bd brand has been enriched by all the designs we’ve produced. The result is a sum of many things—memory, tradition, and respect for the classics, as well as talent, innovation, a sense of humour, and a lot of imagination. See less
