Who is Santa & Cole?
Santa & Cole is a design editor in Barcelona, Spain, working since 1985. An editor, in design terms, does not simply manufacture; it selects, reissues and commissions pieces from designers it believes in. Gabriel Ordeig Cole co-founded the company in Barcelona and also designed the Mesita GO side table in 1988. Many of the lamps here have been in the catalog for decades, and the best sellers on our site are the classics.
Which designers should I know?
Miguel Milá (Barcelona, 1931 to 2024) was a pioneer of Spanish industrial design. He drew the TMM floor lamp in 1961, the Cesta family around an opal globe he found outside a glass factory, the TMM wall lamps in 1964, the TMA in 1981, the TMD in 1996 and the M64 table lamp in its 2024 version. If you know one name, make it his.
Antoni Arola is a Barcelona designer who treats light as his raw material; since 2003 he has created some of Santa & Cole's most recognizable families, including Cirio, Shiro and Lámina. Santiago Roqueta began the Básica family in 1987. Jaume Sans, a Catalan designer, drew the Pie de Salón G3 and the Peana Molina pedestal, and Àngel Jové chose alabaster for Babel when the stone was dismissed as kitsch.
What are the all-time best sellers?
These ten are the Santa & Cole pieces our customers buy most, from the cordless Básica Mínima Batería to the TMM floor lamp. Each carries its designer's name and its year, so you know exactly what you are bringing home.
Santa & Cole Básica Mínima Batería Portable Lamp
Designed by Santiago Roqueta with the Santa & Cole team. The Básica family began in 1987, the miniature Mínima followed in 1994, and in 2021 the studio made it cordless with a lithium battery. A birch column and a hand-finished shade that follow you from table to table.
Santa & Cole Cirio Simple Pendant Light
Designed by Antoni Arola in 2010, a minimal pendant from one of the Barcelona designer's best-known families.
Santa & Cole Trípode G5 Floor Lamp
Designed in 1997, built from the oldest stable form for a standing lamp: three legs. A dimmer is built in, so it moves easily from evening glow to brighter light.
Santa & Cole TMM Floor Lamp
Miguel Milá, 1961. A light wooden frame and a parchment shade that slides up and down and rotates by hand. One of the founding pieces of modern Spanish design.
Santa & Cole Pie de Salón G3 Floor Lamp

Santa & Cole Lámina 165 Pendant Light
Antoni Arola designed the Lámina system in 2018 to champion reflected light. A line of light and a thin sheet of metal above a table.
Santa & Cole Básica M1 Table Lamp
Santiago Roqueta and the Santa & Cole team, 1987. A slender birch column with a shade, the family that began in 1987.
Santa & Cole Babel Table Lamp
Àngel Jové, 1971. A stepped tower of solid alabaster that glows from inside, narrowing from 30 cm at the base to about 20 cm at the top. He chose alabaster when the stone was dismissed as kitsch.
Santa & Cole Wally Cestita Wall Lamp
Miguel Milá, 1962. The wall-mounted member of the Cesta family, which began when Milá found an abandoned opal globe outside a glass factory in Barcelona.
Santa & Cole TMM Corto Wall Lamp
Miguel Milá designed the TMM wall lamps in 1964 for TRAMO, the company he set up to produce them. Shown here as a pair over a bed.

Why it's worth the investment
A Santa & Cole lamp is a piece of design history you can live with. The lamps are named for the designers who drew them and dated to the year they first appeared, and many have stayed in production for decades because the original idea did not need improving. That is what longevity looks like in lighting: a form that suits a bedroom now and a first home later, and a shade you can move by hand. Choose the classic that fits your room, add a dimmer where the listing offers one, and enjoy it for years.
