Bover

Since its inception in 1996, Bover Lighting – the coveted Spanish designer lighting brand – has evolved into one of the world’s leading contemporary lighting companies. As is often the case with design success stories, Bover’s happened unexpectedly; the concept arose from a simple napkin sketch drawn by founder Joana Bover for an architect friend’s project.

Fast-forward 25 years later, and Bover’s eponymous designer lighting brand continues to experience growth and soaring popularity. Despite its presence in countries worldwide – including its own subsidiary in the U.S. – Bover remains true to its founder’s original vision of creating timeless lighting designs balanced with the latest trends and technologies. For Joana, Bover is the result of the professionalism and the concerns of a team of people who live and feel the cultural world surrounding them, and respected designers advocating the creation of dramatic new lighting experiences for the world.

When it comes to lighting solutions, Bover transcends functionality, for its pieces are illuminated works of art. Bover’s lighting collections consist of unique and expertly crafted wall lights, floor lights, bollards, lamps, pendants, sconces, chandeliers, and more. The forms they take are utterly unique. Whether it be synthetic wicker woven into a rounded light reminiscent of a sea urchin, or a translucent, tubular floor lamp with a ribbon-like pleating, Bover’s light fixtures do more than brighten rooms… they elevate them. In addition, most collections are offered in multiple sizes and finishes to suit a range of interior spaces.

Bover lighting is produced entirely in Barcelona, which allows the company to exercise full control over its production chain. As a result, it is able to ensure excellent quality and appropriate delivery terms to meet market needs. Another distinguishing factor of Bover’s lighting collection is its “big formats” – large-scale products designed for large interior spaces to offer the optimal maximum lighting performance.

Materials

Bover believes that a successful product is composed of the right combination of design, quality, and technical development. Its products always strive to find a balance between quality, material, and shape. Bover understands quality as a fundamental part of a good design, and it thrives on combining artisan methods of production with advanced technologies. Bover Lighting is particularly proud to continue carrying out part of its work manually and investing in traditional craftsmanship. Materials include the highest-quality metals (including iron, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel), wood (such as teak, oak, and beech), synthetic fiber, concrete, glass, leather, and more.
