Lampshades
A lampshade envelops its light, defining and dressing it, affording it shape and purpose. Its design determines the atmosphere to be created. Choosing one and not the other is a matter of taste and purpose. You can buy shades from Santa & Cole separately, so that you can swap them, update the design of any of our structures or add one of our shades to a lamp you already have.
A miniature version for a more intimate ambience
The pocket edition of the Básica lamp combines sturdiness and lightness. The shade and finish are available in two unique versions. The first features a bronze finish base and a pleated natural parchment lampshade. The second version has a nickel finish base and a ribbon-stitched lampshade, again on a birch wood column, and includes a stabilising base. This smaller table lamp is ideal for low light intensity settings, such as bedside tables, shelves or isolated light points.
Santiago Roqueta, PhD in Architecture, professor of Drawing and director of the ETSAB (Barcelona School of Architecture), was an industrial designer, interior designer and artist. Roqueta played a crucial role in establishing the concept of good design in Barcelona. He created the furniture editing company Snark Design, which became part of Santa & Cole at the end of the 1980s.
He also designed unique clubCarles Riarts and restaurants with the aim of revitalising Barcelona. In addition, Roqueta was the driving force behind the book publishing project between Santa & Cole and ETSAB to disseminate the work of the pioneering masters of Spanish design.
