Marset

Fascinated by timeless design, designer Jaume Ramírez is interested in the archetype of table lamp in which a lampshade distributes light in all directions. This is the starting point on which he reflects and experiments to propose a new glass design, with sharper shapes. The Fragile mixes geometric figures, a cone and a sphere are arranged to house a cylinder that emits ambient light from below.

Funiculí is one of Marset's most emblematic lamps. Its design has seen a lot of time pass and is still current but it is also functional, it can illuminate with direct or indirect light and allows the height of the light to be modulated with its set of clips.

For Lluís Porqueras, designing consisted of eliminating the superfluous until leaving an essential object: beautiful, useful and simple. This is what he did with the Funiculí, a lamp from 1979 that Marset reissued in 2013 and which has become an emblem of the collection.

It is light, takes up almost no space and can function as an ambient lamp or as a direct light lamp, it all depends on how its lighting is directed.

The freestanding version of the Ginger collection is produced in wood, a great ally for more intimate lighting. A complicated material to shape that this collection resolves clearly: The combination of sheets of wood, paper and resins pressed under high pressure achieves a luminaire with an almost flat, sober appearance, which illuminates spaces with direct light by reflection from a slight presence.

Polo stands out for the fluidity of his movements. This design joins the head to a thin and light structure that can be fully extended without taking up much space. It incorporates a system of ball joints that allows the light beam to be directed precisely. Its switch is integrated into the upper part of the diffuser, it is a wheel and it turns on and off by turning it, a retro nod to the history of switches. Polo is a technical and decisive design available in floor, table, ceiling and wall light versions.

Wood and metal are combined in a design of basic geometric shapes. Scantling is based on a very functional and flexible system in which all the movements of the screen, with full rotation, are resolved by ball joints and arms to create a versatile light, easy to move. Furthermore, its technical precision does not require visible springs or counterweights to maintain the chosen position.

The name of the Greek goddess Theia – mother of the sun, the moon and the dawn – gives its name to this lamp because its design wants to express above all the beauty of light and the fascination we feel for it. At Theia, materials and shapes are just the means to materialize the concept that has motivated her work: uniting light and shadow in the same piece.

Theia has two faces, to reveal them you just have to gently rotate it on its axis. It can be directed towards the user and functions as a reading lamp. Or, towards an object or a wall, creating a subtle indirect light effect that provides warmth. This twist completely changes the perception of the piece, since its metal diffuser is completely opaque.

Vetra could be just a traditional, blown glass lamp, but when you turn it on, it brings us a surprise. Joan Gaspar uses a closed glass diffuser as a reflector, with the originality of placing the light source outside the screen instead of inside it. It emits more light than we expect without dazzling us: a large part of it is directed downwards, and the rest filters into the interior of the screen, subtly illuminating it. As if there were an echo and the light multiplied, turned on it shows its entire profile drawn, it seems to be alive.

In an era as digital as the current one in which you buy with a click and read by sliding your finger, sometimes you miss something as human as touching - with all its intention -. The Bolita lamp invites you to touch the light to modulate it.

Its structure is as simple as it is magical: a round surface that houses an LED located on its central axis and a superimposed crystal ball that, when it moves, constantly produces the effect of an eclipse. By moving the Ball we dim or increase the light and this game captivates with its beautiful visual effect.

Beyond its function as a lamp, Dipping Light seeks to excite. When turned on, it is fascinating: its different shades of paint filter the light, creating a magical effect in the environment. When turned off, it transforms into a colored glass sphere, an object with a great aesthetic charge.

Dipping Light was born as an experiment - dipping a lit light bulb into paint several times - but it becomes a lamp. Thus, the various layers of paint draw concentric circles and trap the light, attenuating its intensity. The paint becomes a screen, coloring the light and giving it texture. A brass or graphite base is added as support. This artisanal process makes each lamp unique and exclusive.
