Sans, Pete

The Spanish designer Pete Sans was born in Barcelona in the middle of a Catalan family linked to the artistic and intellectual circles of the city. The familiar surroundings highly conditioned his education. During his introduction in the world of the graphical and textile design, once he had finished his higher studies, he travelled to Germany with the purpose to perfectionate his training in the field of industrial design. He returned to Barcelona in 1971 to open a graphical design study, and at the same time took over the control of the Gallery and School Nikon.

He became known for his designerlamps for the Spanish lightingcompany Vibia. The Ameba collection is one of the best designs of Pete Sans. This suspension lamp can be adjusted to fit in many different rooms.
