Santa & Cole
Cover image missing

Founded in 1985, Santa & Cole is an independent editor of thoughtful design objects, art and books headquartered in Belloch (Barcelona, Spain). It’s a practice rooted in a discerning eye: choosing pieces with intuitive precision, often created by others, and bringing them to light, sharing them widely, safeguarding authorship and championing their value. With an aesthetic which leans more timeless than futuristic, Santa & Cole favours history over fashion, silence over noise. From spectacle to substance: if objects can be read, it’s because they have something to say. These are slow–cooked products, crafted to last, designed to be passed down through generations.

As part of 3daysofdesign, Santa & Cole is transforming a room in Fredericia Furniture's showroom into "Light Reading: Chapter Two" — a curated selection of titles on light and design by Fredericia Furniture and Santa Cole, in collaboration with For Scale. Ephemeral, together, public, fun.
