Santa & Cole was founded in 1985 when Javier Nieto Santa, Gabriel Ordeig and Nina Masó, together with a small group of friends and family members, started a small company to edit objects they liked. As a design publisher, Santa & Cole carefully selects a range of everyday things that share superior quality: furniture, lighting, plants, and design-related books. The collection now includes contemporary designs as well as products by mid-century masters. In 1999, Spain’s Ministry of Industry granted Santa & Cole the National Design Award in recognition of an innovative and collaborative career in superior design.
