In a small workshop of a country house – Can Torrent – in Mieres,
a village in the Pre-Pyrenees between Barcelona and France:
is where our project was born in 1997.

For more than 20 years we have been manufacturers of handcrafted lighting and design.
We treat each project as a new creative stimulus
to give our lamps a unique design.

At El Torrent, we create lighting for spaces people truly live in. We see light as an integral part of architecture, something that enhances a space without dominating it, helping to create environments that feel warm, welcoming, and comfortable. For us, lighting goes beyond decoration. It shapes the way people experience and connect with a space. Our approach is grounded in craftsmanship, attention to detail, and respect for materials. Every piece is carefully considered, from its proportions to its finish, ensuring a balance of aesthetics, functionality, and lasting quality.

Spaces where light doesn’t compete, it shapes the atmosphere.

We design lighting with longevity in mind, pieces that stand the test of time in both quality and presence within a space. Our work is guided by simplicity, balance, and a clear design language, evolving into a contemporary approach that values authenticity, functionality, and lasting appeal. We collaborate with architects, interior designers, and design professionals who share our belief that good design should enhance everyday life. Together, we create welcoming, thoughtful, human spaces where light shapes the atmosphere rather than demands attention. We are drawn to timeless forms, honest materials, and solutions that integrate naturally into a wide variety of settings. Materials are carefully selected not only for their beauty, but also for how they age and gain character over time. Our ambition is not to create objects that dominate a space, but lighting that helps people feel comfortable, connected, and inspired within it. El Torrent creates contemporary lighting, but above all, lighting that helps people enjoy the spaces they live, work, and gather in.
