Sketchbook: The Industrial Design Of Oscar Tusquets Blanca - Oscar Tusquets is an artist in the style of the greats of the Renaissance: his acclaimed career has spanned the fields of architecture - with the influential practice he founded in 1964, the Per-industrial Design Studio, painting, sculpture and writing, always with a taste for the figurative and humorous. Reproducing the sketchbook style that Tusquets has favoured over the years, this latest release brings together a comprehensive collection of product sketches dating from the 1970s to the present day and provides insight into Tusquets' creative process, as well as his artistry. These sketches form the historical record of a body of work that defined an entire era of Spanish design, beginning with Barcelona's Gauche Divine movement and inspiring classical and postmodernism with its imagery and charisma.

\nThis book includes nearly 200 sketches including some of his most iconic pieces, such as the Dalilips sofa he designed with Salvador Dalí in 1975 and the Varius and Gaulino chairs, which are among his best-selling products. It also contains texts by Ross Lovegrove, Anna Puigjaner, Juli Capella and Tusquets himself.
