BD Barcelona × Ettore Sottsass
Mettsass Table
Description
The Mettsass Table makes a bold statement with its striking geometry and vivid red color. Constructed from flat steel sheets, the base narrows like an inverted pyramid, offering stability and a sculptural look. The glass top, painted to match the base in RAL 3001 red, blends seamlessly with the structure, creating a cohesive, gem-like design. This table exemplifies Sottsass’s early, avant-garde style, vibrant red finish, and unified form that draws attention through its bold geometry and color.

An eclectic edge and quality manufacturing are cornerstones of BD Barcelona, a design collective founded in 1972 by a handful of young buck architects. The initial goal was to realize their own object and furniture design for their respective projects and on their own terms.
This objective continues, yet other designers have entered its stable, both young such as fellow Barcelona-native Cristian Zuzunaga and legacy heroes such as the late Italian superstar Ettore Sottsass. They have brought to market the flights of fancy of Salvador Dali, and taken on modern challenges by reusing leftover materials in a collection called Remix. The stable of celebrated creatives include Jamie Hayon, Oscar Tuesquets, Stephen Burks, Konstantin Grcic and Doshi Levien.
Beauty guided the founding nonconformists from the start, and it still does as they enter their sixth decade in business. Artisanal craftsmanship—all in Barcelona and surrounding parts–and a luxurious sensibility merge with state-of-the-art technologies and an architect’s practicality.
