LAMPARAS DE SOBREMESA

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.

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. Its designer freed up the screen to give it maximum mobility, it can be oriented up to 360 degrees and focus the light wherever desired and it also has a double clamp system that allows you to vary the height of the diffuser, raise and lower it.

The Ginger collection is very extensive and includes different sizes of suspension, tabletop - also the portable version -, floor-standing, two wall versions with a mobile arm, and four sizes of wall lights with great formal simplicity that can be combined with each other.

With these two very diverse materials – wood and metal – the Ginger becomes a versatile collection, so much so that its outdoor version is also incorporated, closing the circle: There is a Ginger for any lighting and aesthetic need.

The beauty of the Mercer comes not only from its essential shape but also from how its materials come together. The transparent blown glass structure surrounds the textile lampshade, it seems to float, transmitting lightness and sophistication.

The interior diffuser fabric is available in two finishes: in raw cotton tape, and in a more modern and minimalist version, in pearl white.

The English word Scantling refers to a wooden strip that was formerly used as a unit of measurement, especially in naval construction. Its assembly is reminiscent of a construction game and its profile seems like a silhouette of light, an archetypal, almost graphic design.

The Scantling collection includes two free-standing versions, one for table and one for wall.

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.

Its formal design is simpler than it appears: two hemispheres placed one horizontally and the other vertically that intersect each other. Elemental shapes that make it possible for light to be projected, reflected and absorbed by objects from a light source, so that it can be admired.

The Hover table and floor lamps have a screen that appears separate from the base, connected perfectly by a single cable that runs through the bar and then out. The final result gives the impression that the light source is practically weightless and floats in the air, like a balloon.

The diffuser, which characterizes this family of lamps with its materiality and texture, can be tilted 30° and rotated on its axis to direct the light towards reading.

Playing with the destructuring of the base profile, the light projected through the balanced rings designs fine shadows in defining a perfect quality of light in the space.

Curiosity is a portable lamp that through its shape reveals its exhibition but at the same time relational vocation, it stages the spaces where people are found or the objects that it can house inside.
