Quirky Handmade Lighting by Antoñito y Manolín // Spain.

Antoñito y Manolín is a Spanish studio-workshop that designs and hand-makes furniture and accessories. Their newly launched lighting collection caught our eye in particular – it’s pretty freaking cool, no? The clean, understated aesthetic perfectly reflects the Antoñito y Manolín philosophy based on functionality, beauty and simplicity.

For this young Spanish brand, attention to detail is key and they back themselves down to the smallest design decision – edges are clean, finishes smooth, and no detail has been skimmed over. It’s clear that each piece is made with a lot of love and care.

The masterminds behind Antoñito y Manolín are Trini Salamanca and Pablo Párraga. Both were brought up in creative environments and share a mutual fascination with nature, raw materials and craftsmanship, resulting in a powerful pairing.

“At Antoñito y Manolín workshop we work with our hands and our minds. We love wood, leather, brass and iron, stone… With them, we create unique objects, limited editions, thought, conceived and developed, from start to end, from ours to yours. Our designs are made to last through the test of time and trends.”

It’s true – the architectonic aesthetic in these pieces will ensure they hold their ground through any design fad. Top-shelf stuff. Want more? Follow them on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.
