Born in Sitges (Barcelona), Jaume Sans spent most of his childhood in Cuba with his family. Later, having returned to Barcelona, he was introduced to the magazine L Amic de les Arts, one of the periodicals that helped revolutionise the artistic panorama of the 1920s, published in Sitges between 1926 and 1929. Contributors to the magazine included artists such as Salvador Dalí, the critic Sebastià Gasch and the literary figures J.V. Foix and Lluís Montanyá.

Following the war, Jaume Sans began to develop his own furniture design. Among the most outstanding of his creations is the Pie de Salón floor lamp, now edited by Santa & Cole. After that, the artist devoted himself to industrial design, passing on his passion for the discipline to his three children, who work in the field today.

Engaged and determined, Jaume Sans is a key figure in Catalan surrealism, and in its transition to the beginnings of industrial design.
