Santa & Cole was founded by Nina Masó, Javier Nieto Santa and Gabriel Ordeig Cole in 1985, during a decade of upheaval in Spain when anything seemed possible in the wake of the dictatorship.

The early days, creating exceptional lamps for some of Barcelona’s most famous bars, soon led to commissions to light the homes of regular patrons of some of those venues. At a time when halogen lamps (cool to the touch, with a bluish light) were all the rage, Santa & Cole advocated the use of natural materials like wood, stitched cardboard or ribbons. In some cases, existing designs were revisited, and in others, new ones, such as the Básica lamp, were developed. The brand shifted the mood from technical and cold to human and warm.

In the 1990s, in the joyful aftermath of the Barcelona Olympics, some of the larger lamps, modular lamps, were born, such as the Estadio or the Moaré, responding to the need to illuminate public places.

Since LED lighting stormed onto the scene at the dawn of the 21st century, they have continued their quest for light that enhances the beauty of objects, shadows and people. Examples of this are the Cirio and Tekiò series. The brand remains committed to creating ambiences and moods, night and day, that serve to improve habitability at home or elsewhere.
