“Sometimes, in design, the best idea is not so much
in the solution as in knowing what the problem is”
André Ricard (Barcelona, 1929) has been a pioneering
industrial designer, professor in Switzerland and England
and author of books on good design, combining this with
an intense institutional activity. From a very young age
he was interested in the use of everyday objects, seeking
to improve what we surround ourselves with.

When other members of his generation looked at Milan
as a reference point on the European scene, Ricard kept
his eyes on Switzerland, England and the Baltic countries.
��sources, he
focused on the functionality of objects with the end user
in mind, while always drawing clean, unadorned forms.
First National Design Award (1987), ex aequo with Miguel
Milá, and Design Europa Award (2021), he is considered
by us an endearing master and friend.

“A veces, en el diseño, la mejor idea no está tanto
en la solución como en darse cuenta del problema”
André Ricard (Barcelona, 1929) ha sido pionero
diseñador industrial, profesor en Suiza e Inglaterra
y autor de libros sobre buen diseño, compaginando
estas tareas con una intensa actividad institucional.
Desde muy joven se interesó por el porqué de cada
objeto cotidiano, buscando mejorar aquello de lo
que nos rodeamos.

Cuando otros miembros de su generación miraban
hacia Milán como referente en el panorama europeo,
Ricard mantenía su vista hacia Suiza, Inglaterra y los
��
cias y fuentes, y destiló una atención centrada en la
��
mientras trazaba siempre formas limpias y sin ornato.
Primer Premio Nacional de Diseño (1987), ex aequo
con Miguel Milá, y premio Design Europa (2021), es
considerado por nosotros entrañable maestro y amigo.

Las suyas son piezas optimistas pensadas para
��
y elegancia.
