A giant in the world of design, BD Barcelona combines Spanish flair with an artistic sensibility. Barcelona is one of our favourite places to hang out. Why? Lots of reasons; for a start it was founded as a Roman city in the Middle Ages and merged with the Kingdom of Aragon, which we think sounds kind of like something from...

Straight from the horses mouth!  In this case the horse is our Director Mark. Living the KE-ZU dream and filling his dining room with staff favourite Table B by Konstantin Grcic for Spanish manufacturer bd Barcelona, it also becomes apparent that he’s a bit of a stylist-come-photographer! Each day taking photos of his flowers blooming against the extruded aluminum of...

It’s delivery time at the Zu! The showroom was alive this week with new product being unloaded by our warehouse lads and unpacked by staff under the careful eye of Lidia our showroom manager (who, it must be said, was a gun on coffee duty). The entire staff pool get so excited when new furniture arrives at the showroom. ...

Drawing obvious visual inspiration from bd Barcelona’s Hypóstila shelving unit, a signature piece from the Spanish manufacturers 1970’s catalogue, Table B seems to transcend...

Salone Mobile 2011 kicks off in Milan in April and the buzz is already evident from all the way over here in Sydney. We know many of you are going to be on the ground in Italy in coming weeks so we wanted to share some of the upcoming, not to be missed launches and installations.

The Red Dot Awards hava existed since 1955. Its award, the “red dot”, is an internationally recognised quality seal. The best products receive the “red dot: best of the best” award.

One of the coolest websites around: COOL HUNTING recently featured an article on the "Spanish Seating Renaissance". We were chuffed (but not surprised) to note that accounting for over half the examples of good Spanish seating design are KE-ZU products...  Sitting pretty indeed!

When we thought on a phrase that defines what is BD, we came upon many different, but ultimately the one we chose was "BD is not a style". We can explain why, but it would be too obvious for anyone who knows us well. 07.Bd Newsletter
