RIGALT, GRANELL i CIA. Pair of modernist stained glass windows, ca. 1920. One of them signed. Measurements: 161 x 50 cm. each one. Pair of stained glass windows made in the prestigious Barcelona workshop founded by Antonio Rigalt and the Granell family. The aesthetics and quality of the fin-de-siglo stained glass can be appreciated in the work of the leaded glass, in the thickness and vivid colors of the crystals, as well as in the attractive forms in which they are combined, all the product of a laborious artisan process. The stained glass workshop, formed by members of the Rigalt and Granell families of Barcelona, was in operation from 1890 to 1984. Its precedents are found in the draftsman and glazier Antoni Rigalt i Blanch (1850-1914), raised in an artistic environment, since he was the nephew of the painter and draftsman Lluís Rigalt i Farriols (1814-1894). He trained as a draughtsman at the Llotja school in Barcelona, teaching drawing until 1901. His move to glassmaker did not follow the traditional pattern starting as an apprentice in a workshop, but he did it after his artistic and theoretical training. Related to the most important artists and architects of the time, he was a regular collaborator in the works of the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. From the Rigalt and Granell workshop came some of the most important works of stained glass of Catalan modernism, such as those made for the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Casa Lleó Morera in Barcelona or the Casa Navàs in Reus. They worked on the works of architects Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Enric Sagnier, August Font i Carreras, among others. They also carried out a large number of restorations of medieval stained glass, such as those of the Cathedral of León or the monastery of Santes Creus. The workshop participated in numerous exhibitions, especially in the period under the direction of Antoni Rigalt, in many of which it received awards: the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1888; the Exhibition of Fine Arts and Artistic Industries of Barcelona, in 1892, 1896 and 1898; the Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1899; the National Exhibition of Art in 1900; the International Exhibition of Art in Barcelona in 1907 and 1911; the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1929; the National Exhibition of Decorative Arts in 1947.

PEP BONET (Barcelona, 1941) and CRISTIAN CIRICI (Barcelona, 1941) for BD Ediciones Pair of side tables "Sevilla". 1976 Lacquered steel and glass. Measurements: 60 x 70 x 70 cm. Pair of side tables designed by Cristian Cirici and Pep Bonet in 1976, and produced by BD Ediciones. Minimalist design, consisting of a black lacquered steel base and rectangular legs with "L" section. The tempered glass top is encased in a black painted perimeter frame. They belong to a collection of tables of the same name, which won the Delta de Oro Award from the ADI FAD in 1976. Pep Bonet is a Catalan architect and designer trained at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, a member of Studio PER along with Cristian Cirici, Lluís Clotet and Óscar Tusquets, and a founding partner of BD Ediciones de Diseño. He has received awards such as the FAD Interior Architecture Award and the Delta ADI-FAD, among others. Cristian Cirici i Alomar studied at the Barcelona School of Architecture, where he taught from 1976 to 1978, as well as at the Eina School and at several American universities. In 1964 he founded the firm Studio PER together with Òscar Tusquets, Lluís Clotet and Josep Bonet; with the latter he formed a professional tandem for several years. In their early work these architects show the influence of pop-art and Robert Venturi, a fact that will lead them to postmodern architecture.2 One of their first works was the Tokyo building (1972-1974). In 1979 he restored the Thomas House, a modernist work by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, for which he won the 1980 National Restoration Prize. In 1972 he was a founding member of the design firm BD Barcelona Design.
