In a surrealist play of semiotics, melted candle wax forms the candelabra itself, inspired by two of the movement’s greatest figureheads. In this design, tusquets was inspired by one of dalí's approaches: a softened vision of a rigid object. Candle wax was melted, solidified, and cast in bronze—originally left with its natural finish but later glazed in an off-white shade, such that when the candle burns and drips, the wax blends with the candelabra itself. Despite the influence of dalí, the result looked somewhat like a sculpture by alberto giacometti, and tusquets renamed the object accordingly. 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. less
