A New Fan Favorite: Faro Barcelona Arrives in California
Archetype Lighting Sales is excited to announce our new collaboration with Faro Barcelona, expanding our portfolio with a design-driven manufacturer known for its thoughtful approach to lighting and ventilation solutions.
Founded in Barcelona in the mid-20th century, Faro has grown from a small family business into a globally recognized brand, with products specified in more than 110 countries. Over the decades, the company has built a reputation for combining practical, efficient lighting technologies, and global product development based in a strong Spanish design perspective.
Today, Faro Barcelona continues to evolve its approach with an increasing emphasis on sustainability and responsible design. The company has invested in tools that measure the life-cycle environmental impact of its products, supporting transparent environmental documentation and helping guide more informed design and manufacturing decisions.
Tierra, Mar and Aire : In this collection, Héctor Serrano merges natural inspiration with advanced 3D printing technology. The Tierra shade pictured, is crafted from PLA, a plant-based bioplastic, blended with recycled pine cellulose, resulting in a softly imperfect, handcrafted texture. Its forms subtly reference the warmth and structure of beehives.
One area we’re especially excited to share is Faro Barcelona’s ceiling fan collection. With decades of experience designing and manufacturing fans for international markets, Faro Barcelona is now bringing them to North America, bringing a fresh set of solutions to a category where specifiers have had relatively few options. Faro Barcelona’s fans balance performance, energy efficiency, and clean contemporary design, making them a strong fit for today’s architecture and interiors.

LIGHTS
The AIRE Collection With its transparent, textured surface, the shade features 3D-printed forms from recycled plastics that resemble suspended air bubbles. The crystalline quality of the material gently diffuses the light, producing an elegant glow.
CRONOS is a minimalist black wall reading light with an architectural base that integrates seamlessly into any space. The light turns on automatically when lifted, eliminating the need for a switch and making it ideal for reading.
TATAWIN is a lighting collection designed by Adolfo Abejón. The shade’s shape is inspired by the upper forms of the traditional houses found in Tataouine, a city in southeastern Tunisia.
