Spanish designer Lluís Porqueras (b. 1930) is known for his timeless and atmospheric lighting designs that are often based on the contrasts of light and shadow as well as vividness and tranquillity. In 1956 Porqueras established Stoa, the first Catalonian design office, and in 1979 he and Jaume Vaquero founded the lighting brand Vapor. Today, many lamps from Vapor’s catalogue are part of Marset’s collection. Porqueras has also designed lamps for companies such as Santa & Cole and Targetti.
