Dream and Memory
Euroluce 2025
Our stand at Salone del Mobile: re-editions from our origins return to production, side by side with new designs.
“At first sight, the first impression. A straightline to the retina. As we move through the world, we watch, we single out. The mind is full of filters — do the eyes have filters too? Morality and taste, history, the colors through which we see. What is the first sight? An impulse of choice — this, yes; that, no. Any given object comes into being the moment it is chosen. From anonymity to a name. It enters the world of language, takes on meaning, culture, value as a good. It submits itself to other eyes, laid bare before their gaze. The texts speak of those who once saw with fertile eyes, their clear vision a mirror of their souls. Seeing the forest and the branch, the carafe and the water. Could it be that things end up being what they seem?”.
Santa & Cole: At First Sight. Excerpt from the 1987 business statement by Javier Nieto Santa, presented at La Sala Vinçon in Barcelona.

Fourteen designs together for the first time, some of an earlier time, some completely new. Around them, the sandy warmth of yellow light, the deep blue of the night sea. To look at them is to look ahead and find something familiar.
The same boldness that led us to edit La Colilla (Carles Riart, 1976) as our first product, which is a subtle companion that barely illuminates, can be found today in the launch of Alterna (Júlia Esqué, 2025), a modular, translucent system that filters light through a creative photographic paper shade.
