Jordi Vilardell

Spanish industrial and lighting designer Jordi Vilardell (b. 1960) is celebrated for an architectural approach to illumination that integrates light sources seamlessly into spatial volumes. Based in Barcelona, Vilardell honed his career at the intersection of product engineering and interior architecture, prioritizing glare-free ambiance over decorative hardware. Vilardell achieved international prominence through his prolific, long-standing partnership with Spanish lighting brand Vibia. His defining creations include the sculptural Puck wall and ceiling series, the Join blown-glass lamp, and the innovative Wind outdoor lighting collection, characterized by weather-resistant filament-wound fiberglass shades. Together with Meritxell Vidal, he also developed the versatile Halley and Suite architectural systems.
