Founded in Barcelona and rooted in a family-run metal foundry established in
the 1940s, Marset has evolved into one of the world's most respected
contemporary lighting brands. The company officially entered the lighting
industry in the 1960s, when Paco Marset began manufacturing luminaires,
combining traditional craftsmanship with a growing passion for design and
innovation. By the 1990s, under the leadership of the third generation of the
Marset family, the company underwent a strategic transformation, placing
contemporary design, international collaboration and technical excellence at
the centre of its identity. Today, Marset exports to more than 50 countries
and is recognised globally for its distinctive approach to decorative and
architectural lighting.
At the heart of Marset's philosophy is the idea that lighting is about far
more than illumination alone. Their well-known ethos, “taking care of light,”
reflects a commitment to creating atmospheres, emotions and experiences
through carefully considered lighting design. Rather than designing products
that merely occupy a space, Marset develops luminaires that enhance the
quality of living through warmth, subtlety and character. Their collections
balance technical precision with creativity, often combining minimalist forms
with playful, sculptural elements that create both functional and emotional
impact. Quality, longevity, innovation and sustainability are central values
throughout their manufacturing and design process.
Marset is also renowned for its collaborations with internationally acclaimed
designers including Joan Gaspar, Christophe Mathieu, Inma Bermúdez, Jordi
Canudas, Mathias Hahn and Lluís Porqueras. These partnerships have produced
many iconic collections that have become benchmarks in contemporary lighting
design. Products such as the Discocó pendant, the Ginger collection, the
FollowMe portable lamp and the Dipping Light showcase the brand's ability to
merge innovative materials, advanced LED technology and timeless aesthetics.
Marset was also one of the pioneering brands in rechargeable portable
lighting, helping to redefine how lighting can be used within residential,
hospitality and outdoor environments.
The company's product range spans indoor and outdoor lighting solutions,
including pendant lights, wall lights, table lamps, floor lamps, portable
lamps and architectural fittings. Across all categories, Marset products are
characterised by refined detailing, atmospheric light quality and a strong
Mediterranean design sensibility. Their luminaires are widely specified in
residential, hospitality, retail and commercial projects around the world,
with installations appearing in hotels, restaurants, offices and flagship
retail spaces globally. Through a continuous focus on innovation,
craftsmanship and emotional connection, Marset has established itself as a
leading voice in contemporary lighting design.
