Cologne in Germany – and more specifically the Kunstbar, a bar-cum-art gallery in a prime location very near the cathedral and main station – has been the spot chosen to showcase 33 of the most iconic examples of indoor and outdoor lighting produced in Spain in recent years.
The aim of the initiative is to highlight the strengths of the best Spanish lighting: innovation, good design and great quality. Gerard Sanmartí, a founding member of Barcelona-based design studio Lagranja, organised the exhibition and selected the pieces.
These are manufactured by 18 companies – all undoubtedly the most influential lighting firms in Spain: Marset, Bover, Vibia, Santa&Cole, Luzifer, Almerich, Fambuena, Metalarte, Troll, Uno Design, Vondom, Lampister, Estiluz, Dab, Carpyen, Evaluz, B.Lux and BD Barcelona Design.
While some were only designed very recently, others created longer ago have since become indisputable classics of Spanish design, the most notable being Santa & Cole’s piece Trípode G5, outdoor light Boletus created by Jorge Pensi for B.Lux, Jean Nouvel’s Araña light for Troll, Carpyen’s Galilea light and, last but not least, Jaime Hayón’s elegant design Josephine for Metalarte.
