In 1888, Eduardo Pascual, great-grandfather of the current designer, sold lanterns and lamps of oil, gasoline and gas markets of Rambla de Catalunya and the avenida Mistral of Barcelona. Thus began the saga of a family dedicated to the lighting. Eduardo Pascual and his wife Marina Madrigal lived through radical changes in the lighting systems that were carried out at the end of the 19th and 20th centuries, and took the initiative, much before the majority of the manufacturers of the time, to establish a business lighting workshop in Urgell Street in the city of Barcelona.

With growing success in sales and the lack of qualified suppliers to produce the raw material of the quality required by the company, settled his own cast bronze (alloy of copper and zinc), along with a space to carry out the lining of the lamps (gold, silver, blackened and many others that were made in those days) in the outskirts of Barcelona , in the town of Sant Joan Despí. It was operational, after several reforms and enlargements, until 1975, as well as the shops of Barcelona, in three main arteries of the city, the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, Rambla de Catalunya and Urgell Street.
