From Galicia to the world: a·emotional light’s journey

From Galicia to the world: a·emotional light’s journey

For some time now, the course of history, arts and design seems to have changed its ethos. The expansion of globalisation as a worldwide process, shared equally in all parts of the world, has generated a set of movements that seek to embrace the local as a response to the overwhelming global reality. We are increasingly opting for what is closest to us, not only as a matter of sustainability, but also as a way of approaching the universal whole.


a·emotional light is also part of this evolution; our lamps illuminate spaces, but, above all, they illuminate our roots and traditions, fusing the vernacular with the universal. Local manufacturing is the soul of our creative process. From our headquarters in Galicia, where sea and land intertwine in a landscape of tradition and modernity, our lamps come to life through meticulous craftsmanship. With each of our pieces, we weave a thread between the local and the global, keeping alive the essence of Galicia while encouraging our creations to find their place in homes and spaces around the world.

The vernacular and the universal: a constant dialogue

The essence of a·emotional light lies in the ability to connect the vernacular with the universal. Our designs are based on a deep respect for our Galician roots; we are nourished by nature and local traditions, but always with an eye on the world. This duality allows us to create pieces that speak a global language, understood and appreciated in more than 80 countries, but that carry stories, emotions and a genuine connection with the land where they were born.

In this respect, our devotion to the local is not merely a question of identity, but also a philosophy of life, a clear commitment to quality and authenticity. Every detail, including materials, inspiration and processes, is a reflection of the spirit of our land and, at the same time, a response to the demands of an ever-changing global market.

Transoceanic brand: illuminating the world from Galicia

a·emotional light’s commitment to local manufacturing is not an obstacle to our international expansion, but rather our greatest strength. With a solid presence in the United States, Asia and other global markets, our lamps represent a bridge between the local and the universal. This approach has allowed us to bring the unique character of our pieces to customers around the world, demonstrating that authenticity and craftsmanship are invaluable in any cultural context.

At the same time, in order to bring emotion to a global audience, our materials and manufacturing processes reflect a balance between the traditional and the contemporary. We collaborate with designers who share our vision and bring a fresh, global perspective, while our production remains anchored in Galicia, ensuring that each lamp retains that vernacular essence that makes them unique.

A design that speaks a universal language

The success of a·emotional light on the international stage lies in our ability to capture the essence of the local and project it in a global context. Our lamps, although born in Galicia, are capable of integrating into any space, anywhere in the world, thanks to their timeless design and quality craftsmanship. We speak a language shared by all people, a unique language that reaches everyone and which is based on the good work of our brand.

It is this ability to speak to different cultures and contexts that has made a·emotional light a transoceanic brand, illuminating and embellishing spaces all over the world. Each of our collections is a reflection of our brand identity: a fusion of the vernacular and the universal, resonating as much on the Galician coast as in the skyscrapers of New York.
