Metalarte is a company that has defined it's personality through the co - existence of the new and the traditional. Applying Yin and Yang to production has resulted in the possibility of maintaining a catalogue that balances the future and the past. tradition that began a workshop at Madrazo Street in
Barcelona , continued at Riera De Sant Miqel, subsequently ending up at a factory located in Sant Joan Desoi at the beginning of the sixties. The latest destination along this journey once again expresses the duality of Metalarte : The spirit of Change, with the creation of a new headquarter, and the romanticism of family run companies , which has prevented the company from moving to another location. The new offices of Metalarte, housed in a curiously building, it's black color adding it's own personality within the context of an industrial area, express in their interior the keys to it's operation: together with a warehouse and offices, a spacious showroom which, in addition to display it's products in a relaxed and comfortable manner, emphasizes the desire to underline the spirit of artistic creation and a research laboratory in which company technicians explore and tests the efficiency of their creations. A new space for the concept of an ancient alchemist: to produce light in ways yet to be covered. All of this impregnated with natural lighting, a paradox in the case of creators of lamps. However at Metalarte say no that work goes beyond the object and that light is not simply and abstract concept, but the material with which they work. This is why they did not make the obvious move of converting the entrance of their offices into a shop window for the company’s products. What they have created is a lighting installation, they true essence of Metalarte.
