A year after Red May, Ángel Jove and Santiago Roqueta created the Zeleste lamp, named after the bar where it was designed for. When crossing the velvet curtain in the bar, an element unified the space: the Zeleste lamp, promoter of intimacy, in front of an amalgam of furniture without owner. Inspired by an Art Déco design, Zeleste shares the spirit of all works by Snark, the design editor company owned by Santiago Roqueta. In 1987, Santa & Cole acquired Snark’s historical collection and launched a new range with the same name, the Snark collection, which included this lamp and its sister Babel, also in our catalogue.
Àngel Jové is an artist who demonstrated a freedom of action, unconventional in the world of design, to which he was initiated by Santiago Roqueta. He is considered one of the greatest pioneers of the Conceptual Art movement in Spain, in addition to being a leading protagonist in the world of cinema and television.
Doctor of architecture, professor of Technical Drawing and director of ETSAB (Barcelona School of Architecture), industrial designer, interior designer andartist, he was a leading light in the concept of good design in Barcelona. Creator of Snark Design, a publisher specialised in furniture, which merged withSanta & Cole at the end of the 80s. He also embarked on the design of unique commercial premises. Roqueta was the driving force behind this book co-published by Santa & Cole and ETSAB, which disseminates the work of pioneering masters of Spanish design.
