Architect by profession, designer by adaptation, painter by vocation and writer out of the need to make friends, Tusquets (Barcelona, 1941) is the prototype of all-round artist brought to the verge of extinction due to modern world specialization. He graduated as an architect in 1965 from the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in Barcelona. He worked with Lluís Clotet at Studio Per until 1984. He was one of the founding members of BD Barcelona Design, where he launched his career as a furniture and object designer. His designs can be found in some of the most outstanding museums in the world like the MoMA in New York or the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
