Marset, Spain
Marset was established in 1942 as a family business, not making lighting, but as a foundry. That foundation in casting metals did eventually segue into lighting design, however, with Francisco Marset formally establishing Marset Illuminacion in 1965. The decades spent experimenting with and molding metal translated well into the contemporary lighting industry: manipulating all kinds of materials to create unexpected, atmospheric lighting effects.
Today, based in Badalona, Spain (a suburb of Barcelona), and with showrooms now in Barcelona and New York City, Marset continues in its pursuit of creatively bringing about new lighting functions.
Marset is about more than just making great-looking contemporary lighting fixtures; it's about "taking care of light", giving it an interesting place in which to play. The fixtures themselves are clean and understated. They are designed to blend in seamlessly with contemporary settings while enhancing the overall ambiance with light (and all the nuances therein). It is all these possible nuances of light that really gets Marset excited and inspires them to such levels of creativity and technical precision in their designs.
You can find Marset lighting being represented in Copenhagen by Woodmood store.

The Independent Light
The Bicoca is born with the optimism of brightening life and accompanying the good times, wherever you go. This new colorful, lightweight portable lamp projects an intimate light that adds warmth to all your personal spaces.
Made of polycarbonate, Bicoca begins with an overlay of basic geometric figures, with a tiltable shade to direct the light. Three separate accessories increase the applicability and versatility of the lamp. A powerful magnet can be affixed to the bottom of the fixture, allowing you to place it to metal surfaces -even vertical walls- defying gravity. An armchair accessory drapes over armrests, sofa backs, or headboards, so you can bring your Bicoca to all your personal reading spaces. And a metallic disc accessory hides discreetly beneath the tablecloth, securing your Bicoca to the table.
The wide range of shade colors provide an option for any taste and any space. Bicoca is small, manageable, versatile and autonomous.
Materials:
Color polycarbonate and shade. Opal diffuser polycarbonate. Stainless steel and teflon joint.
Battery life:
5 hours in peak power
10 hours in half power
20 hours in a quarter power
Battery charging time: 10h.

The FollowMe broke molds and forged a new path in lighting: a beautiful, portable lamp to carry everywhere, a personal object of light and warmth. Three years and many accolades later and Marset is ready to launch a new version, with a larger size and greater light output: the FollowMe Plus.
FollowMe Plus complements its classic predecessor. While the original size is perfect for cozy areas, the Plus reproduces the same warmth and quality of light with greater power. This version stands out for its ability to create entire atmospheres, and is great as a table lamp, desk lamp, or even on the floor.
The FollowMe’s oak handle invites you to carry it with you. Both sizes utilize LED technology and have a tilting polycarbonate screen that offers both cozy atmospheric light and direct reading light. A three-position dimmer regulates the light intensity, allowing for a continuous output of between 5 to 20 hours, and the micro USB charging cable makes charging your FollowMe quick and easy.
Materials:
Rocking opal diffuser and white matte polycarbonate body. Plywood handle with natural oak veneer, brass switch and construction details.
Battery life:

Beyond its function as a lamp, the Dipping Light seeks to excite. When it’s turned on, its different shades of paint sift the light, creating a magical ambient effect. When it’s off, its colored glass sphere is an object charged with beauty, and eye-catching design piece for a shelf, bedside, or table.
Jordi Canudas is an alchemist of light. He experiments with it, seeking always to be surprised and learn from it. He wants to capture the essence of light. With this goal in mind, the Dipping Light was created as yet another experiment – dipping a lit bulb into paint several times – with the end result of this table lamp. The various layers of paint draw concentric circles and capture the light, moderating its intensity. The paint becomes the shade, colouring and texturizing the light. A brass base is added for support. This artisanal process will make each lamp a unique and exclusive creation.
This collection starts out in two sizes and several colours: green, amber, pink, white, black and blue. Each lamp illuminates with different shades of light depending on the paint colour, creating a wide range of ambient lights that can match any décor. Through paint, Jordi Canudas turns his design into much more than form and function; the Dipping Light has a soul, and its light conveys poetry.

Wrapping the Light
How does one design a light that translates the playfulness of an endlessly spiraling ribbon? The Piola collection is about imitating this fluidity of infinite movement, in search of a balance between the diffusion of light and the creation of shadows.
A central metal column holds more than 5 meters of spiraling, laminated band, enveloping, protecting, and sifting the light for beauty and comfort. Several different types of light coexist here: direct downward light, indirect reflected light, and a light that sneaks between the edges of the spiral, illuminating the fixture itself with a warm, homey glow.
The fixture’s spiraling form breaks with the monotony of cleanly ordered lines, offering a different face from every angle. At the same time, the central column provides a symmetry and solidity that supports and reinforces the visual movement of the screen. The Piola is available in four colors, with the structure and screen always in the same color to lend the fixture cohesion and unity. In this way, by contrast, the quality of the light takes center stage.
Materials:
Laminated band made of PVC and polyester which resolves around a central metallic column lacquered in the same color of the band. Inner structure in polycarbonate to hold the band to the axis.
Shipment is 2-4 days.

The idea behind the Pleat Box is a sophisticated combination between a digitally designed crease in a piece of cloth and a silhouette that is applied to a ceramic base.
The outer part of the lamp is offered in white ceramic, brown, black, terracotta, and grey– the direct result of recycling different enamels. The interior is available in brilliant white enamel, which enhances the luminous light from the lamp, or 24k gold, which generates an extremely warm light.
The Pleat Box collection is now available with an integrated LED technology, which projects indirect light and prevents glare.
Materials:
Ceramic diffuser with the inner part in brilliant white enamel or gold. Ceramic canopy.

Like the echo of a drum, the Djembé collection is designed for repetition, creating musical compositions of light. A bell-shaped ceiling fixture with an exposed interior, Djembé is available in a numerous sizes and bright, airy colors that can be used individually or combined to create a brilliant statement piece.
Using a rotomolding technique allowed the designer, Joan Gaspar, to design a fixture with vastly different interiors and exteriors: its outside recalls the texture of a stone, giving off a perception of great weight, emphasized by its volume. In the spacious interior you’ll find a smooth, white space perfect for the reflection of light. Djembé is a lamp designed for use in public spaces that seeks to bring beauty and an unbeatable quality of light.
Materials:
Shade made of bi-injected rotary moulded polyethylene: stone texture on the outer part and smooth satin white on the inner part of the fixture. Diffuser in lacquered grey aluminium.

The warmth of the fixture’s ceramics contrasts with the faceted edges of the sphere, making it seem as if it is winking playfully.
Made using a meticulous, traditional design process, the lamps are fired four times —using glazes specifically developed for this collection— and incorporate warm, high-quality materials, such as gold.
Available in white, blue, terracotta, or black ceramic, with brilliant white or gold enamel interiors, the pendant collection’s three sizes — 17, 26 and 41 cm— allow one to create sculptures in the air. The collection is completed with a ceiling model and two wall models, these last incorporating a lacquered metal reflector inside the canopy that transmits multiple reflections and makes this fixture ideal as a decorative element.
Materials:
Ceramic diffuser with the inner part in brilliant white enamel or gold. Ceramic canopy. Fabric electrical cord.

The Weightless Light
With no more than fingertips, one can achieve a feeling of weightlessness with the Copérnica lamp. As if levitating, it moves through space effortlessly, without friction or resistance.
Circles, semicircles, tubes, and bars of different diameters, materials, and weights…with the combination of these primary elements the Copérnica collection constructs geometric sculptures of light, establishing an intimate relationship with space and combining functionality with the beauty of pure lines.
The collection consists of desktop and standing versions that play with counterweights of mixed materials and density, such as steel and aluminum. This design allows one to move the lamp with great precision, providing a wide range of heights, distances, and adjustments to the beam of light to suite one’s taste. The upright version, a true statement piece, stands almost two meters in height and directly or indirectly illuminates the environment with its tilting head system.
Copérnica draws minimalist sculptures in space, as if it were a canvas, and the carefully selected colors add soft chromatic touches to the ensemble.
Materials:
Structure in satin nickel or graphite with the base and counterweight in lacquered steel. Tiltable diffuser in aluminium with a built-in switch.
Available modifications:
Satin nickel - Golden - White
Satin nickel - Graphite - White

Inspired by the lanterns found on fishing boats, this collection of outdoor customizable lamps allows you to create multiple compositions. Users can choose how many shades to place on the diffuser, along with their order, position and direction. This interplay of combinations yields a rich array of direct or reflected light.

Funiculí is a new edition of a lamp designed in 1979. Lluís Porqueras has always sought an absolute simplicity in his designs, doing away with everything superfluous to leave the essence of the useful, simple object. 30 years on, Funiculí remains highly contemporary, both in its purist forms and in its features.
The name Funiculí comes from the concept of a “funicular” action – moving up and down. The mechanism for raising and lowering the lamp uses a pair of clips which make it very easy to change the height of the shade to meet the user’s needs. The shade itself can be rotated through 360º to point the beam of light wherever it is required.
The base of Funiculí is covered in rubber on the bottom, avoiding the cold contact between the metal and the floor and adding stability to the lamp.
Materials:
Base and stem in lacquered iron. Shade made of lacquered aluminium. Base wrapped with black rubber.

The Funiculí is the epitome of that concept; 30 years after it first appeared, it is still cutting-edge.
While the standard Funiculí was updated in 2012, the collection has also been extended to incorporate a table version, which retains the purity of the fixture’s style and its original attributes.
Using the same double-clip mechanism of the original, this scaled-down model allows easy height adjustment and 360º shade rotation to fit the needs of any room or user. The base of the table model has been fitted with a black rubber sleeve to prevent cold-contact between the metal and the table, and to impart additional stability.

The Emotional footprint.
A simple household item kickstarted the design process of the Aura wall lamp. This decorative lamp, which provides outstanding light while turn on but stands out beautifully while off as well, was inspired by the traditional glass carafe, a mainstay of households the world over.
The Aura follows an emotional design, because of what glass means in the collective memory, as well as a rational and contemporary design because it draws on LED technology to achieve efficiency and subtlety. The opalescent, transparent, or coloured glass of its lampshade allows the light to bathe the wall and creates a luminous effect without harshness, while also generating a point of interest in the space.
Building on the existing Aura collection is a new 25 cm version to offer lighting solutions for larger spaces. Now, with two sizes to choose from, you’ll always be able to select the Aura that best fits the proportions and scale of your space.

From light to shadow with a single gesture.
The Greek goddess Theia – mother of the sun, the moon and the dawn – lends her name to this lamp, whose design seeks to express the beauty of light and the fascination we feel for it. In Theia, the materials and shapes are merely the physical manifestations of the underlying concept: merging both light and shadow in a single piece.
Theia has two faces: to discover them, simply swivel the fixture around its central axis. It can be pointed towards you for use as a reading lamp, or towards an object or a wall, creating a subtle, indirect light that immediately warms the atmosphere. Because Theia’s metal lampshade is totally opaque, this swivelling movement totally shifts the perception of the piece.
Theia’s formal design is elementary and streamlined: two half-spheres, one placed horizontally and the other vertically, which intersect with each other. Just as in nature itself, these formal elements make it possible for the light from a source to be simultaneously projected, reflected, and absorbed by objects for our visual enjoyment.
Shipment is 14 days.
