Metalarte is a family business with nearly a century of history, originally established as a metalwork workshop by Antonio Riera Clariana in 1932 under the name Metall Arts. In the early 1940s, the company began designing and manufacturing its own lamp models. However, it was not until the late 1950s that Metalarte began to define the modern and innovative character for which it is renowned, heavily influenced by the flourishing Scandinavian design of the time.

Starting in the 1960s, Metalarte collaborated with external designers who would become notable figures in Spanish industrial design, including André Ricard, Enric Franch, Joan Antoni Blanc, and Josep Lluscà. This collaboration established the brand as a benchmark in the lighting sector and a pioneering company in Spanish design. Additionally, Metalarte distributes models produced by international firms such as Louis Poulsen, Arteluce, and Stilnovo.

Today, Metalarte continues to uphold its legacy by combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation, offering a range of decorative lighting solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The brand remains committed to quality and design excellence, making it a preferred choice for architects and interior designers.
