Lluís Porqueras

Industrial Designer - Lleida

Lluís Porqueras is considered one of the most important creators of Catalan designs. After taking various architecture courses, he self-taught himself industrial design and began his professional career working in the renovation of houses and country houses in Ampurdán.

In 1965, together with his friend and designer Paco Blanco, he founded the Stoa studio. A pioneering design company in Catalonia where they produced their own items and those of other designers like Enric Franch.

Already very lighting-oriented, in 1979, together with Jaume Vaquero, he founded the company Vapor, an amalgamation of their surnames, and which represented the industrial area of Barcelona (Poble Nou) which they worked out of. With an austere style, they experimented with materials to find the simplicity of objects. They worked with the goal of experimenting, learning and creating new objects. Lluís Porqueras himself, working with limited economic means, created a methodology to build ethically and understand the industrial processes with the goal of achieving the best alternative for his clients. Always far from the prevailing trends, his goal was to remove ornamentation and details to achieve simple, practical pieces.

Some of his clients were recognised lighting and interior design companies like Marset, Santa & Cole, Mobles 114 and Targetti, for which he designed emblematic objects that are still being produced today. Amongst his many works, the Claris suspended light and the Funiculí stand out.

One of the greatest recognitions he received was being able to sell his products in the MOMA shop. A great satisfaction, achieved after years devoted to design.

Lluís Porqueras created the Finisterre bollard (1992) together with Joan Gaspar.
