We’re excited to announce the launch of our Apartamento x BD collaboration—a new series curated by Apartamento, marking BD’s first venture into an everyday life objects collection. This series introduces a set of (un)common pieces: Klas Ernflo’s Wine Stopper ‘Buddy’, Xavier Mañosa’s Ceramic Bookstand, and Serban Ionescu’s Mutant Hook. Playfully reimagined and beautifully reinvented by these three artists, each piece emerges from the creative freedom shared by Apartamento and BD. Klas’ Wine Stoppers, carved into charismatic characters, are thoughtfully designed to be the perfect companion to your wine bottle; Xavier’s Ceramic Bookstand, a minimal yet striking ode to an open book, exists effortlessly as a sculpture in and of itself; and Serban’s Mutant Hooks, each with their own uncanny configuration and temperament, like creatures from a dreamscape, are shaped to hold everything from your towels to your tote bags to your shape-shifting dreams. Whether through animated expression, sculptural elegance, or offbeat charm, each piece balances function and form—practical, yet anything but ordinary.
We spoke to the artists to trace each objects’ journey, stepping into their studios and workshops to witness the first sparks and sketches before they took their final, tangible forms.
