Jordi Vilanova i Bosch
Catalan interior designer and cabinetmaker, Jordi Vilanova entered the Escuela de Trabajo y Oficios Artísticos de la Lonja in 1939. He completed his training in the workshop of Busquets and, between 1940 and 1953, he collaborated in the workshop of Lluís Gili. Jordi Vilanova was the founder and promoter of the Catalan art magazine "Questions d'Art" (1967-74). In 1974 he opened a premises with a permanent exhibition of furniture and upholstery fabrics of his own design, forming part of the Official College of Interior Decorators and Designers of Barcelona and the SAD. His modern furniture and his way of resolving spaces were initially aimed at a broad audience with limited economic resources and, therefore, at homes with limited living space. However, this vast majority did not understand his proposal. Rather, it was the Catalan bourgeoisie, eager to break with outdated stylistic canons, who adopted his work. He specialized in children's furniture, such as the Delta stool, which won the Delta de Plata Prize awarded by the ADI/FAD in 1964. He exhibited his works in Scandinavia. His most representative designs include the Tiracord and Billar chairs (1961), the Montseny MP bunk bed (1961), the Tartera (1966) and Petit (1978) rocking chairs and the Z magazine rack (1987) designed with his son Pau Vilanova Vila-Abadal. He is currently represented at the Design Museum in Barcelona.
