About Us
Founded in 1985, Santa & Cole is an independent editor of thoughtful design, art, and books headquartered in Belloch (Barcelona, Spain).
Foundations
Our foundations are both our origins and our values: the principles that define who we are and why we do what we do. They reflect a moral and historical character, a way of seeing and shaping material culture.
Headquarters in Belloch
Our central offices are located in Parc de Belloch, an extensive estate spanning more than 500 acres about 20 miles north of Barcelona. Records of Belloch (bello loco, beautiful place) date back to 972 so it has a powerful story to tell.
Authors
Every product begins with an author. Designers, artists, and thinkers whose visions shape the world we inhabit.
Responsibility
At Santa & Cole, we understand that editing is an act of responsibility. It means choosing with intention, preserving a thoughtful material culture, and caring for the environment we share.
Our practice is rooted in a discerning eye: selecting pieces with intuitive precision, often created by others, and bringing them to light. It is a way of working that upholds wide dissemination, safeguards authorship, and champions the lasting value of good design.
Our aesthetic is timeless rather than futuristic, embracing history over fashion, silence over noise. From spectacle to substance: if objects can be read, it is because they have something to say.
Ours are slow-cooked products, crafted to last, designed to be passed down through generations. A way of seeing that finds meaning in the seemingly simple, placing value on quality, warmth, and comfort, born from the balance between craftsmanship and industry.
