"I try to make objects that are not just lamps, but companions."

The Story
If Marset has a captain, it's Joan Gaspar. Joining in 1996, he didn't just design products; he steered the entire creative direction of the company. From the industrial-chic 'Soho' (inspired by market lamps) to the ultra-flat 'Ginger' (a triumph of wood pressing technology), his work is everywhere. He solves technical headaches with poetic solutions, proving that utility and beauty are actually the same thing.
Created for Marset (62)
