Marset stands for welldesigned light. The fruit of a constant concern to explore the most subtle nuances while demonstrating the finest lighting effects. We create unmatchable ambiances around the world, thanks to a collaboration of an international team of designers. We asked them for a snapshot of the light form that inspires them.

Marset es luz con buen diseño. El fruto de una constante inquietud por explorar los matices y efectos más finos de la iluminación. Creamos ambientes singulares por todo el mundo gracias a la colaboración de un equipo internacional de diseñadores; a ellos les preguntamos por una imagen de luz inspiradora.

CHRISTOPHE MATHIEU Hamburg, Germany, 1961 “The reminiscent play of light and shade inside the Umbracle in Barcelona, a building intended to create shadowy niches; is the perfect place to take shelter from the heat and the sun” · “El sugerente juego de luces y sombras del interior del Umbracle de Barcelona, un edificio destinado a crear espacios umbríos, perfecto para resguardarse del sol y del calor”  FABIEN DUMAS Fort de France, Martinique, 1976 “The only light which floods the Polynesian island of my childhood – so rich, so abundant, so ubiquitous” · “La luz única que inunda la isla...

Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, Spain, 1969 “I find the beams from lighthouses inspiring; due to their symbolism, their functionality, and their architectural fusion. Lighthouses serve as reference points for sailors and are often found in spectacular surroundings, “The sun as a sphere that emits light in beams of inconceivable power from a core, which one cannot observe directly. I like the simple analogy between a lamp and the sun. Hence, my model…an enigmatic light source that only allows you to see JOAN GASPAR JAKOB TIMPE “The image of half light, be it natural or artificial. The dark side of the...

DISEÑ ADORES LLUÍS PORQUERAS  Lleida, Spain, 1930 “The 60’s. Formentera. Sunset in Ses Salines. The smoke of plants from Afghanistan. As if by a miracle, the salt becomes a kaleidoscope of colour. Atheist? Agnostic? No: pantheist! Light, the origin of life, is sacred” · “Años 60. Formentera. Puesta de sol en Ses Salines. Humos afganos alternativos. Como un milagro las salinas se convierten en un caleidoscopio de colores. ¿Ateo? “The light from sparklers! Because it is alive, it mutates, and it changes without losing its essence until, slowly but surely, it goes out! And when it does, it...

“My favorite light appears when the sun is low in the sky; in those few seconds when the colours and the contrasts are intensified. What is light without a shadow?” · “Mi luz favorita aparece cuando el sol está bajo, en esos momentos en que los colores y contrastes se intensifican. ¿Qué es la luz sin la sombra?”  MATHIAS HAHN “We are inspired by the light as it tells a story in films” · “Nos inspira la luz narrativa de las películas”  “The nocturnal glow of phosphorescence seas, known as milky seas. Each movement becomes an intense light trail that will fade very slowly. To go swimming as...

XAVIER MAÑOSA  Barcelona, Spain, 1981 DESIG NERS / DISEÑ ADORES “The light of the first hour of the evening in summer as it sneaks into our studio through the four skylights and the partly-covered hole in the ceiling. It creates five moving spotlights, which seem to be searching for something amongst the unfinished bits and pieces there” · “La luz de primera hora de la tarde que en verano se cuela por las cuatro claraboyas y el agujero medio tapado del techo de nuestro taller, creando cinco focos móviles que parecen buscar algo entre todas las piezas inacabadas de la sala”
