About the Designers
Jordi Miralbell and Mariona Ravent�s are a couple of craftsmen of design that have little by little come to build a variety of pieces of domestic lighting and furniture, pure and poetic.
Jordi Miralbell, born in 1953, studied with Mariona Ravent�s in the design school Elisava, in Barcelona, between 1974 and 1977. Two years after, they set up their own interior and graphic design studio, m&j. Among their first works, we may find a series of fashion dummies, or a furniture and lighting collection called Atm�sfera that was composed of the Arco lamps, the Sud and Vertical lamps, and the Ocean�a, Bere-B and Asia pieces of furniture.
Mariona Ravent�s, born in 1955, studied with Jordi Miralbell at Barcelona's Elisava school of design between 1974 and 1977. Two years after, they set up their own interior and graphic design studio, m&j, in Barcelona.
Their conception of design led them in 1989 to be part of Santa & Cole, for which they had already designed some pieces of furniture, and they ended up becoming, two years later, partners of the company. Miralbell and Ravent�s were responsible afterwards for the art direction of the firm, and as a part of the editorial committee they selected the products that the firm would edit. Many pieces of furniture and lighting elements edited by Santa & Cole at that time account for it: the D�rica lamp; the Pie de Garza lamp(1997), awarded with the VII Premio de Dise�o Nuevo Estilo in 1994; the lamps Turca and Suma (1999), Gala, Nova (1996),Disco (1995), Vertical, Tosca y Comod�n (1994), and Boa and S�lida (1993); the Sistema Matricial, an interchangeable system of shades that allows to offer customized lamps; the Nif Naf Nuf, a set of three stools; and the Oslo armchair, young and cosy.
