Santa cole
Santa & Cole is a small, independent, and globally recognized design editor rooted in Belloch, near Barcelona, Spain. Established in 1985 by Nina Masó, Javier Nieto Santa, and Gabriel Ordeig Cole, the company emerged during a transformative era in Spain, when creativity flourished and new possibilities abounded. Santa & Cole approaches design as a form of cultural editing—preparing and adapting objects for meaningful, everyday use, much like a literary editor shapes stories for publication.
With a catalogue enriched by contributions from more than eighty creators, including renowned designers such as Antoni Arola, Miguel Milá, André Ricard, and Ilmari Tapiovaara, Santa & Cole curates timeless furniture and lighting pieces from diverse design contexts. The brand stands out for its meticulous attention to quality and detail, outsourcing all manufacturing to a trusted network of skilled suppliers—primarily based in Spain, but also including international partners like those in Japan, where traditional washi paper is crafted for their Tekiò lamp. Santa & Cole’s mission is to cultivate, protect, and share knowledge through beautifully designed objects that elevate daily life. Each piece is crafted to be felt, experienced, and remembered—designed not for passing trends, but for lasting impact. Guided by a philosophy that values quiet elegance over noise and long-term significance over fleeting fashion, Santa & Cole continues to shape the world of design with a thoughtful, globally oriented perspective.
