backJordi Vilanova i Bosch was an Interior designer and decorator. After the civil war, he studied at the Escola del Treball, where he learned technical and artistic drawing, cabinetmaking, and other subjects related to the decoration and design of furniture and other objects. He was one of the founders and main member of the multidisciplinary group La Cantonada (1960-1975), where an architect (Jordi Bonet), a ceramicist (Jordi Aguadé), a painter and stained glassmaker (Joan Vila Grau) and a jeweler (Aureli Bisbe) converged. The group carried out numerous multidisciplinary works.
Jordi Vilanova’s work focused on the design of furniture and objects for the home (from chairs and children’s furniture, to mirrors and lamps), developed in small series, with high-quality materials and designed to last over time. His style, defined as Mediterranean, was based on the synthesis of various traditions, such as traditional Catalan furniture (especially that of rural tradition) or Scandinavian furniture.
