Santa Cole

Santa & Cole is a Barcelona-based design house defined by a singular philosophy: they act as "editors" rather than traditional manufacturers. Their collection is a highly curated portfolio of lighting and furniture designed to bring timeless warmth and material honesty into a space. Rather than relying on mass production, every piece is the result of a deliberate pairing with specialized master artisans—from glassblowers and stone carvers to traditional textile weavers.

The story of Santa Cole

The story of Santa Cole

Founded in 1985 during a vibrant period of cultural renewal in Spain, Santa & Cole was established by Nina Masó, Javier Nieto Santa, and Gabriel Ordeig Cole. Operating out of Parc de Belloch, an estate deeply connected to nature outside of Barcelona, the trio began with a clear mission: to protect, revive, and catalog iconic, forgotten designs of exceptional quality. Over the decades, this vision naturally expanded from reviving historical classics to commissioning new works by contemporary masters.

For nearly forty years, the brand has remained steadfast in its founding ethos, bridging the gap between deeply traditional textile and material handicraft and modern industrial precision to build a lasting legacy of intelligent, enduring design.
