Its proposal has been defined by the same concept for decades: honest, approachable and accessible design for everyone. Neither luxury objects reserved for a few, nor products without personality.

Faro Barcelona's story begins in 1945, when Carlos López López started selling batteries and desk lamps in the city of Barcelona. In 1951 he formally founded the company under the name LOREFAR. With over 75 years of history, it is one of the longest-established lighting brands in Spain.

What types of products does Faro Barcelona make?

Faro Barcelona offers a comprehensive catalogue covering indoor lighting (pendant lamps, floor lamps, table lamps, wall lights, ceiling lights and rechargeable portables), outdoor lighting (wall lights, bollards, lanterns, projectors and portables), technical and architectural lighting (recessed fittings, track systems, linear systems and LED strips) and an extensive range of ceiling fans. It is one of the few Spanish brands covering all these segments with its own catalogue.

Faro Barcelona's ceiling fan range is one of the most comprehensive on the market: it includes models with and without integrated light, featuring high-efficiency DC motors (up to 70% energy savings compared to AC motors), WiFi connectivity via the Tuya system, wood and metal finishes, and sizes from 106 cm for bedrooms to XXL versions for large spaces. All models operate silently and come with a remote control included.
