Hypostila System
By Iluis Clotet and Oscar Tusquets for BD Barcelona Design
Hypostila System
Description
A minimal, modular profile supports significant weight with shelves reaching infinite lengths. A bestseller, a Hypostila. It was created in 1979 by Oscar Tusquets and Lluís Clotet with civil engineer Jesús Jiménez to support heavy loads with lightweight sections of extruded aluminium. Produced in Spain with 95% recycled aluminium by Hydro, the system has a timeless and strong frame, offering endless possibilities in endless environments. It is light, relevant and refined. An icon and a BD favorite.

What is Freight shipping?
Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.
Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.
Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
