Ferran Freixa Jové was born on 20 October 1922 in Menarguens (Lleida). In 1947 he began studying to become a quantity surveyor in Barcelona, however, he ended up graduating in technical architecture years later. Due to his talent, he began teaching technical drawing at various prestigious institutions from 1950 on.

From the 1980s onwards, together with Antoni de Moragas Gallissà, he helped recover several monuments that were dismantled at the end of the Civil War, such as the ones dedicated to Rafael Casanovas, Francesc Layret and the monument to Doctor Robert. In 1997, he decided to set up his own design studio, Produccions Estudi Freixa, where he focused on lighting. This gave rise to the Prisma collection of lamps for which he won the Silver Delta in 1997. Ferran Freixa Jové died in Barcelona on 19 September 2008.

Clever and technically skilled, Ferran Freixa Jové seamlessly combined entrepreneurial sense with design flare.
