A Globe of Light – Cesta and Cestita Metálica Miguel Milá learned to master the expressiveness of steel by giving it a fragile heart. Cesta and Cestita Metálica encapsulate the duality between strength and fragility as the firm metal brackets embrace the delicate opal globe. Its steady, heavier base makes it the perfect version for placing it stably in any corner of the house. Cesta Metálica has also the option of adding a leather strap, whose softness contrasts with the rigidity of the steel straps.

Santa & Cole presents a definitive edition of Bib Luz alongside Oscar Tusquets. It now offers significant functional and electrical improvements and maintains the poetic aura from which the lamp was conceived. The book structure has an off-white and aluminium metal finish to choose from. Its metallic arm, which includes an adjustable LED light, attaches to the book with a click. The incorporation of a well-sized LED source improves the optics and the light. Additionally, multiple units can be interconnected in series with a single wall plug, allowing compositions at different levels. Always with excellent results, non-dazzling for those observing the bookshelf. 📕💡

“If I place a lamp on a shelf, all the shelves below it are in shadow. Only by moving the light source forward will I be able to illuminate the spines of the books. What I then have is a body with a shaft and a bulb at its tip. The body, which houses the transformer and the switch, needs to be placeable in any part of the shelf, occupying minimum space and going unnoticed. What better form could I imagine than that of a book?” – Oscar Tusquets. Learn more at santacole.com/es/bib-luz/ Photography by Coke Bartrina

“My entire universe is based on letting things happen and watching closely.” – Antoni Arola On 11 September, we met with Antoni Arola at Dahl Agenturer's showroom in Stockholm where the designer shared with us his vision of his products. Santa & Cole’s Editor, David Martí Vilardosa, also joined the event to bring the brand closer to the attendees. From a multi-disciplinary designer standpoint, Arola defined light not just as a tool but as a material brimmed with sensitive nuances. Through his artistic intuition, he captivates light to communicate ideas, create beauty and raise awareness. Read more at https://lnkd.in/d_6XK9c2

Casa Garós: the vernacular architecture that inspires Maximale. Maximale Studio presents a comprehensive renovation of a traditional Catalan rural house in the village of Garós. Drawing its inspiration from vernacular architecture, the project integrates itself harmoniously with the dense landscape of Val d’Aran. The homely atmosphere is complemented with a selection of Santa & Cole lighting fixtures. The Sisisí Cónica Plana, Dórica, FAD, and Básica Mínima Batería lamps enhance the artisanal quality of the space. Made from honest and warm materials such as hand-stitched cardboard, natural oak wood and ribbons, these pieces are designed to be passed down from generation to generation, promoting a friendly and enduring coexistence.
