El Torrent: handcrafted designer lamps, made in Girona since 1997

El Torrent is a Spanish handcrafted lighting brand founded in 1997 in Mieres (Girona) by designer Eloy Puig, with over 25 years of experience and a presence in interior design and contract projects in more than 47 countries. Their approach is built on a clear conviction: every lamp must be a unique piece, handmade using natural materials such as cotton, linen, wood, cork, hand-thrown ceramic and blown glass. The result is lighting with a character of its own that goes beyond functional illumination — objects that bring texture, warmth and personality to any space. Among their most recognised collections are Duna, Bauma, Nucli, Dento, Stick and Solixent, each with different finishes and materials that allow them to adapt to a wide range of projects, from high-end residential interiors to hospitality and restaurant spaces. El Torrent also offers a comprehensive customisation programme: colours, fabrics, dimensions and materials can all be tailored to the specific needs of each project, with the possibility of developing limited editions or bespoke oversized pieces.
