Designed in China, Made In Spain...

In a turn for the books, the Spanish Design house BD Barcelona (famed for their historically unrivalled stable of designers: Salvador Dali, Antoni Gaudi, Jaime Hayon and many more...) will be marketing their new Narcissist Collection with the cheeky but no less imprtant tag line - "Designed In China, Made In Barcelona".

Having debuted the collection at Milan in 2011, the Narcissist vanity, storage and mirror collection was a collaboration between Shanghai based duo Neri & Hu, BD Barcelona and Swarovski. In a push to buck the perception of the design scene in China as a merely copycat market, this meeting of greatly skilled manufacturers, designers and suppliers has resulted in a pleasant trend reversal.
