Catalog excerpts
Taking care of light featuring new releases, personal designer stories and the complete collection
Open the catalog to page 1Scotch Club Xavier Mañosa & Mashallah, 2013 Toward the end of 1959, in Aachen, Germany, the now-famous “Scotch Club” had its opening night. The owner, seeing that the patrons were growing bored, asked a journalist to announce the songs as they were played – this was the birth of the discotheque as we know it today. The latest collaboration between Xavier Mañosa and Mashallah, the Scotch Club ceramic collection takes its inspiration from that discotheque, with a design reminiscent of the widely popular revolving disco ball. Its 72 faces reflect light from the interior in all directions,...
Open the catalog to page 2La Discrète Fabien Dumas, 2013 La Discrète aims to be something more than a light source – hidden within its design is the clear desire to be highly useful while retaining the decorative beauty of a well made object. Perfect for use as a desk lamp or to highlight treasured items, its configuration is simple yet forceful, and contains a character we wish to preserve in the Marset line: of something time will prove to be superior and essential quality. This fixture comes with an incorporated switch for ease of use, and the wooden base, far from being employed as a fashion element, harks back...
Open the catalog to page 5Nenúfar Joan Gaspar, 2013 The outcome of the designer’s arduous quest to create a fixture that seems to float on air, the Nenúfar takes its name and its delicate shape from the water lily. The Nenúfar is a cluster of pendants, based on LED technology, made up of several discs connected by the same stem, but separated from each other in a way that the beams emitted by the different elements are not broken by the lowest component, which also projects its ray of light downwards. The result is a strong, uniform, direct beam that emerges beneath the discs of an item that is midway between...
Open the catalog to page 7This fixture is in its element installed in a series – creating areas lit at different heights and with various combinations of discs – or on its own as a surprising, well balanced and subdued centerpiece. Choose from one, two, or three white or black discs supported by a polished chrome stem.
Open the catalog to page 8Tam Tam Fabien Dumas, 2011 It’s a juicy bunch of grapes, Nick Mason’s drums from Pink Floyd, the constellation of Perseus… there are so many examples that could be used to describe the Tam Tam, a new perception in the world of lamps, which extols repetitiveness by focusing on the archetypal lampshade: a number of light sources pointed in different directions, geometrically arranged to invoke a feeling of organized chaos. The Tam Tam is suitable for any space. Using more than one, the sets of shades with their different positions and colours can be used to create vast, multi-coloured...
Open the catalog to page 9Versatile and cheerful, Tam Tam A invites you to play with colours: Black, white, orange, brown, green or sand, with the base plate always in white. The most important thing about the Tam Tam is maybe the fact that it enabled me to become acquainted with Javier Marset and Joan Gaspar. The very first time we met was on the Marset stand at the Light & Building 2010 Exhibition in Frankfurt. I went there six times asking for someone in charge; six times I left without meeting anyone. Business lunches, business meetings, business talks – every time a good reason for them being away from the...
Open the catalog to page 11Pleat Box Xavier Mañosa & Mashallah, 2011 The ceramic shade of this lamp is a 100% artisan piece produced by a family pottery workshop in Barcelona. Although it is one of a series, it is hand polished and glazed and these processes mean there is a personal involvement in the creation of every lamp. The imprint of the human touch defines the character of the finished product. Our hope is that the end user will feel this uniqueness and recognise the results of the craft process, like landscape features on its surface. The alchemy of the craft process leaves unpredictable traces, small marks...
Open the catalog to page 12We first came into contact with Marset, as a company, a year ago in New York, where we were showing, together with Alex Trochut, our ceramic collection in the Noho neighbourhood. Javier Marset attended the opening, where he showed considerable interest in our stuff. We chatted for a while and, in an unselfish moment, I mentioned to him that I was working on a collection of lamps with Mashallah. Back in Barcelona, we agreed to meet at my workshop one Friday morning. I clearly remember that he arrived about half an hour early and, as luck would have it, we came across each other in the small...
Open the catalog to page 14Maranga Christophe Mathieu, 2012 Maranga is the name of a fruit, an imaginary fruit: exquisite, temp- ting, succulent. It reinterprets scandinavian style in the essentiality of its shape and its rational use of lighting to generate a warm, comfortable atmosphere. The shade is made up of 32 slice-like pieces which fit together to allow chinks of light to escape. This interplay of light and dark generates an effect which is rich in shades of light and prevents glare, while an opening at the bottom fitted with a diffuser gives out direct light downwards. P. 28
Open the catalog to page 15The Maranga collection is available in two diameters – 32cm and 50cm – and it comes in 3 colours: White, sand and umbra grey. P. 30 What I would highlight about Maranga is the richness of shades of light, especially with the colour versions, due to the combi nation of direct and indirect light, to the light and dark caused by the surface of the mate rial and to the different planes on which the light is reflected. Its flattened shape gives it considerable dynamism, making it visually lighter. My relationship with Marset goes back to 1996 when I designed the Compass light, which is still...
Open the catalog to page 16Discocó Christophe Mathieu, 2008 Exuberant and attractive, the Discocó range of fixtures offers an interplay of suggestive, highly effective lighting. The thirty-five abs discs lacquered in white vibrantly reflect the internal light source. On the outside, this reflection varies depending on the angle of the light, at the same time that provides direct illumination from its underside. The chromed sphere to which the metal bars holding the discs are connected, provides a new interplay of glittering re flections. P. 32 The Discocó family is available in white, turquoise blue, sand,...
