El Porís is a modern, graphic, rigorous chandelier. The first prototype was developed for a private house in 2008, constructed using left over steel rebar found on site and fixed with some help from the workers. A refined version is now also available in two sizes, which is perfect not only for large spaces but also for applications in settings with lower ceiling heights.

In both versions, a large elementary, geometric structure features light bulbs housed in traditional E27 sockets, leaving complete freedom of choice as to what sources to use. Calendared steel tubes of decreasing diameter are joined by four vertical mounts. The simplicity is immediately apparent, revealing design and production know-how that can solve the complexity in elements and details that disappear into the main structure.
