Castro Lighting

Castro Lighting is a Portuguese lighting house in Rio Tinto, outside Porto, founded in 1978 and still led by the family of Modesto Castro. Its work is built around brass: traditional Portuguese metalworking is combined with contemporary forms to produce chandeliers, suspensions, wall lights and floor pieces for private houses, hotels and restaurants.

The catalogue includes collections such as Queen, Breeze and Flow, alongside a bespoke service that develops a fixture around a specific interior, from drawing to finishing. Each piece is assembled by hand in the Porto workshop and finished in a range of plated and oxidised surfaces, and the company publishes its residential and hospitality installations as project case studies.
