Company

It all started in 1969, when grandfather Eliseu founded the Foneria with great enthusiasm and desire to prosper. The grandfather was a curious man by nature, always interested in how things work and the innovations of everything around him. He was restless and hard-working. This desire to learn and go further was entrusted to his grandson, who has the same name as him, Eliseu. They were always going up and down putting things together and taking them apart, learning and enjoying time together.

Eliseu acquired some values ​​from his grandfather that have made him who he is, a person who loves his work and has never settled, who has always wanted to improve and experiment with new things. In fact, the factory that his grandfather founded only made industrial pieces, Eliseu's father continued in this line and Eliseu wanted to enter the artistic world, rounding off his knowledge by going to study at the School of Arts and Offices in Vic and doing an internship in the Ginfer Phone Shop in Reus.

Currently, we have set aside industrial production to focus on the world of art, with the advantage that they give us knowledge in the world of industrial foundry.

From that moment until today we have had the good fortune to work for excellent artists such as Xicu Cabanyes, Manel Palahí, Susana Solano, Eduard Arranz-Bravo, Sophie-Elisabeth Thompson, Mercè Riba, Domènec Fita, Rosa Serra and Samuel Salcedo, among others, and to work for a building as emblematic and worldwide known as La Sagrada Família de Barcelona.

The doors of La Foneria are always open to everyone, whether they are renowned sculptors, emerging sculptors or people who are simply interested in our trade. We are currently collaborating with the Schools of Arts and Crafts of Catalonia and with the Foundry Department of the University of Fine Arts of Barcelona.

We have a luxury team, made up of people who are passionate about their work and with more than 20 years of experience in the trade, which is reflected in the quality of the pieces that go out the door.
