Carpyen is a contemporary lighting company founded by Antonio Carpintero and Encarnación Celdrán in Barcelona, Spain, in 1954. In 1972, Robero Carpintero joined the company, bringing along with him the industrial contemporary-minded designers of Pascual Salvador and Gabriel Teixido. One of Carpyen's first designs, the Galilea, established Carpyen's future design path: minimalist, industrial styled lighting that's also accessible, warm and easy to use.
