Designed by Oscar Tusquets in 1983 and produced by Bd Barcelona Design since 2003, the Varius chair is a milestone in the contemporary history of Spanish design. It has been a hit with the public and critics alike ever since it first saw the light of day. It is the most widely recognised and best-selling chair, and the one that has best stood the test of time, improving over the years to become one of the new design classics that will be enjoyed by future generations. Oscar Tusquets Blanca (Barcelona, 1941) is an architect by training, designer by adoption, painter by vocation and writer through his desire to make friends. Twenty-five of these friends have generously agreed to pose with his most famous design to celebrate the Varius’ first twenty-five years.
Ingo Maurer is a designer. It’s really hackneyed to say he’s the “master of light”, but… that’s what he is. Nobody else can design lamps like his: he uses the latest high-tech to make objects full of poetry. Together we have made fantastic pieces specifically conceived for an architectural space. In his catalogue he has a book/lamp which he was so kind as to name after me; granted, it does look a bit like one of mine…
