A Conversation with Oscar Tusquets: Introducing Simplex

BD Barcelona and Vicente Navarro invite Oscar Tusquets, co founder of BD and designer of Simplex, to talk through the ideas, references and decisions behind his most recent work. From the Alfredo Kraus auditorium to the sculptural Gaulino chair, decades of work across varying scales, and where it all leads: Simplex, his most reduced chair to date.

"Mi idea fue: voy a hacer una silla muy universal." - Oscar Tusquets Blanca

For Tusquets, simplicity was never the absence of decisions. If anything, every material, line and joint had to justify its existence.
