Nina Masó (1956–2023) was a key figure in shaping how we understand light at Santa & Cole. Interior designer, editor, and co-founder of the brand alongside Gabriel Ordeig Cole and Javier Nieto Santa, she gave us one of our most defining convictions: the unwavering defense of warm, comfortable lighting — at a time when cool light was in fashion. Nina sought a light that would not only illuminate, but also create sensations, driven by her desire to recreate something more primordial.

She brought a sensitivity that still defines what Santa & Cole is today. Together with Gabriel and Javier, she helped shape a way of living with light: a soft, companionable glow that shortens distances and allows us to fully appreciate life’s beautiful moments.

This film was born from a series of conversations between Nina herself and Marcello Buselli (BOL’s co-founder and CEO). The realistic pastel oil technique — evoking woven tapestries — was chosen for its ability to capture place, atmosphere, and light, turning Nina’s thoughts into textured, living scenes.
