Exposed by design
Originating from one of Max’s early experiments where he added a small LED module to a paper envelope and pierced it to let a narrow beam of light shine through.
The fixture is composed of an extruded aluminum heatsink gently anchored to a folded paper diffuser imitating an envelope . It provides warm ambient light and projects a 3.000K spotlight.
Contemporary brand, enduring legacy
Though Parachilna was founded in 2013, it’s built on a legacy that dates back to the 1930s, when the Riera family first stepped into the world of lighting. The original brand called Metalarte, was a pioneer in Spanish design. It gave opportunities to young designers that later became legends such as André Ricard, Antoni Arola or Jaime Hayon.
Three generations later, Parachilna continues that journey—with a renewed spirit and a vision rooted in craftsmanship, innovation, and design culture.
Parachilna is a platform for bold ideas. We collaborate with designers and artisans who challenge convention, blending tradition with experimentation. Through light, we explore emotion, material, and meaning—always aiming to create objects that feel both timeless and forward-thinking.
For the long run
Our products are thought to last for generations. All our models are fully demountable and repairable. We also use high-end materials with durability in mind.
From Barcelona
We are based in Colonia Güell, a small historic town, home to one of Gaudí's hidden gems, just outside of Barcelona. All our products are assembled in our factory.
Hand made
We source all our components from European suppliers using artisanal and highly manual processes: Italian ceramic, blown glass from the Czech Republic, and metal parts from Barcelona.
