Atlas Pendant Lamp by Joan Gaspar for Marset
The designer Joan Gaspar has transformed a common bulb into a spotlight, by the simple process of following and encasing its outline. This suspended version of the lamp, as with the rest of the family, adapts well to both individual installation and in a repeated series. The suspended Atlas allows the light to be focused anywhere, especially in those places where lighting is needed. All the members of the atlas family are very versatile which enables a combination of all the versions with excellent visual and aesthetic results. The Delta ADI-FAD awards, organized every two years and by the Spanish Association of Industrial Design, are the most important awards given in our country regarding industrial design. This is the second time that Gaspar together with Marset wins the Delta de Plata in the lighting category. Atlas is from transparent polycarbonate.
About Marset
Marset has grown into a company that strongly bets for an integral design and for a brand concept clearly recognizable. Marset produces a wide range of products easily adaptable to different spaces and atmospheres. Marset was born in 1942 as a family corporation dedicated to foundry. Since 1965 it develops, produces and distributes lighting articles in almost forty countries. In the 80s Marset suffered a deep renovation that led the company to introduce the first low consumption systems and halogen lamps. The 90s, on the other hand, were the years of the consolidations of Marset as an international lighting company thanks to its products that combined in an extraordinary way the technical as well as the formal aspects.
