Suspension lamp designed by Carles Riart and produced by Santa&Cole in 1999. A great hemispherical screen of golden metal projects multiple points of light by its orifices so that in the ceiling it simulates a starry sky, of there its name "Stellar". In the lower, open part, there is a methacrylate plate that allows a warmer light to be projected downwards. Futuristic design and great personality, a hallmark of Riart's designs since its inception.

Carles Riart is a renowned Catalan designer and interior designer. Trained as a designer at the Eina school, his knowledge of the cabinetmaker's trade has allowed him to create designs with techniques more typical of craftsmanship than of industry, often working with very limited series or even with unique pieces, and with traditional procedures. However, some of her work has been included in the catalogs of companies such as Muebles Casas, Disform, Mirexsa, Mobles 114, Santa & Cole, Tramo and Knoll International.
