André Ricard (Barcelona, 1923) is a champion of industrial design.
He has touched on so many aspects of our lives through his designs. He has always believed in design as a way to improve the quality of use of certain objects.
It is the 30 anniversary of Barcelona '92. #OnThisDay, the 1992 Summer Olympics started in the Spanish city.
André Ricard designed the Olympic torch. At the peak of his extraordinary career.
