Two years after we first met the Showtime Lounger at the Milan Furniture Fair, Jaime Hayon and BD Barcelona have used the same event to release the latest model in the collection.
Taking the colour selection beyond bold lacquers, this model introduces the option of walnut veneer paired with suede upholstery options, this addition takes the aesthetic beyond the block colour lacquers that were previously on offer.
With a recent surge in interest for vanities and dressing tables, BD last year released The Narcissist with China's design duo Neri & Hu in collaboration with Swarovski. This year Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien have created the Chandlo dressing table, an almost post-modern offering which is designed to be viewed from every angle - in free space. Incorporating storage, mirror, rotating stool and jewellery box, Chandlo means "moon shape" another word for "Bindi" the small dot worn on the foreheads of Hindu women, a feature which is referenced in the mirror element of the design.
In 2012 BD Barcelona celebrate 40 years since inception, a milestone that reminds us of the importance of the works produced under the BD Barcelona banner. They boast an unrivalled collection that incorporates the works of Salvador Dali and Antoni Gaudi.
Alongside these eminent designers sits the work of the late Ettore Sottsass. In 1972 his Mettsass Table was released by BD and in time earned its place in the annals of design history as a classic.
To celebrate the ongoing relevance of his work the Mettsass has been reissued. The structure is made of flat sheets of steel, painted in red RAL 3001 or slick black. The glass table top is painted to match the selected colour as the structure.
