Arola, Antoni

Antoni Arola, the winner of the 2003 National Design Prize, is a prominent figure on today’s design panorama in Spain. His versatility and insightful approach has enabled him to produce brilliant work, whether designing perfume bottles or lamps or undertaking major interior design projects. Arola perceives a symbolism and fascinating way of understanding life and its spaces in cultures vastly different to his own, such as those of Africa, which he incorporates into his work and everyday life. His vision reveals his facet as a sculptor, his passion for drawing and his interest in contemporary art.

Design Biographies

This catalogue-book responds to a double need: it is a companion to the exhibition “Ten light years”, which opened at the Sala Vinçon in Barcelona before moving on to Madrid, Valencia, Turin and Milan; and illustrates the results of Antoni Arola’s ten years playing with light. That is because (and that is what this book is intended to show) he does not regard lamps as mere objects when he is creating them, but as opportunities to establish a playful dialogue with light.

Every lamp has a story, a reason why, a moment of fertilisation. And, above all, each lamp is the result of a creative process that starts from an occasional encounter or an idea that has been resting for a long time in the subconscious, and then gives rise to an object that not only illuminates, but can reflect that something which we aim to capture in the pages of this book, dedicated to a designer who likes “night to look like night”.
