The roots of the company can be traced back to
1980, when the cooperative Herriola S. Coop. was
set up in the town of Markina (Bizkaia, Spain). The
company took its first steps towards the world
of design at the start of the 80’s with the Belux
System, designed by Guillermo Capdevilla (+).
Not long after, in 1984, the company joined the
SIDI (International Design Selection of Fittings for
the Habitat), of which it continues to be a member.
(www.sidi.es).
Following collaboration with designer Jorge
Pensi, in 1987 the Regina and Olympia lighting
collections were created. Extremely innovative,
these were the first polished aluminium lights on
the market. Their creation represented a turning
point for the company, allowing international
expansion with a particular focus on Europe.
From that moment onwards, the image of the
B.Lux Group has been undeniably linked to a
specific kind of product.
B.Lux and Vanlux were created in 1989 and,
throughout its existence, the B.Lux Group has
consolidated its position as one of the most
prestigious lighting companies on the market,
with a particular accent on the unique nature of
its products. This has been possible thanks to
the personal touch of renowned designers, who
have turned B.Lux and Vanlux lights into unique
designer objects. This external collaboration,
which is common practice nowadays, was not
so normal in the 80’s when the B.Lux Group first
showed its commitment to this richly innovative
system.
The Group has recently arrived at another turning
point, with the launch of two new product lines
onto the market. These lines comprise exterior
lighting (urban) and technical lighting (tech), which
join the ranks of the existing decorative lighting line
(deco).
The B.Lux Group sells a total of 200 products, with
a versatility that allows their application in both
home and contract installations. Their enormous
creative value and impeccable manufacturing
quality have won the most prestigious awards,
including the Red Dot Design Award, International
Design Award (IDA), Best of the Year 2007 (Interior
Design Magazine), AEPD Award, Delta Selection
(ADI-FAD), and many others.
Continually innovating in our very own production
plant is one of the driving forces behind the B.Lux
Group’s aim of becoming a leader in the 21st-
century lighting industry. Throughout our work we
never neglect our inherent concern and respect
for culture, humanity, ecology and sustainability.
The B.Lux Group, which comprises the companies B.Lux and Vanlux, is a standard-bearer in the creation
and production of contemporary designer lighting.
