CHAMUSQUINA
Chamusquina is a small workshop producing handmade textile lamps, originally founded in Barcelona in the early 1990s by designer Catalina Alós and Sarah Baumgartner. Today the project continues in a small studio in L’Empordà, where Catalina works together with Ana Casas to design and assemble each piece by hand.
From the beginning, Chamusquina has focused on simplicity and the quality of light. Their lamps are made with lightweight materials such as linen and cotton fabrics that softly filter light, creating warm and intimate atmospheres. Over time the designs evolved from metal structures toward lighter compositions where the textile shade appears almost suspended in space.
The work is deeply influenced by the Mediterranean landscape surrounding the studio fields, sea and sky as well as by natural materials and soft pastel tones. Produced in small batches and assembled entirely by hand, Chamusquina lamps reflect a quiet approach to design where light, material and atmosphere take precedence over the object itself.
