Through good design, Marset wants to convey its most important values: Quality, technological rigor, innovation, sustainability, durability and authenticity.

Design is that added value that gives our surroundings that little extra to improve our lives. We appreciate this because we know that not everything that contributes to our progress has such good intentions. On the contrary, some currents that we cannot do without directly attack the health of our planet, the health of our culture or even even health itself.

Designer from MARSET

Working with a designer is much more than endorsing a design: it is trusting their talent to discover new ways of lighting, exploring new ideas that give meaning to the brand and growing a project together.

Christophe Mathieu

MARSET online kaufen bei www.bruno-wickart.ch

Hamburg, Germany, 1961

His name is French and he was born in Germany, but his Spanish accent points to the Canary Islands, where he grew up. He arrived in Barcelona in the mid-1980s to complete his degree in interior design. Soon after, he moved to Milan where he discovered industrial design in collaboration with the architect Marco Zanuso Jr. in the development of products for companies such as De Padova, Menphis and Driade; the architects Roberto Menghi y Giulio Crespi; the industrial designer Sergio Coppola and the architect Antonio Zanuso in the award-winning project for Piazza della Republica. His time in Milan had a profound influence on him.

A restless man, he seems to carry the traveling genes of his Belgian ancestors, who dared to move to Spain in the 1960s. With an architect and craftsman father (he made lamps at home using the origami he learned while working in Germany), Christophe Mathieu moved from professional competitive swimmer to the world of design 30 years ago. He is open to unforeseen events in life and does not neglect the possibility that one day he might leave everything and do something completely different.

Based in Barcelona for years, he is one of Marset’s experienced designers and has developed several successful products for the company.

Daniel López

Santa Coloma de Gramanet, 1980

Born in Santa Coloma de Gramanet, near Barcelona. As a child, his father awakened in him an interest in how things work by fixing objects, playing with small electric motors or light bulbs. He began his studies in the automotive industry and shortly afterwards studied industrial design at the Elisava School in Barcelona, where he began to move into the world of design.

He entered the world of lighting by chance and after two years developing products in other companies in the sector, he joined Marset’s technical department in 2003. He has worked hand in hand with designers to develop their lamps. This close relationship has allowed him to learn how to keep the essence of each product down to the last detail, while providing all his know-how to make the lamps technically impeccable. Over the years, he has developed the technology for many products and also designed one of the most iconic objects in the Marset collection: the Ledtube. This reading lamp offers perhaps the most functional design in the collection. It has been on the market for ten years and has been approved by countless hotels. He has been technical director of Marset for several years.

Lluís Porqueras

Lleida, Spain, 1930

Porqueras himself recognizes that he started designing without really knowing what industrial design was all about. After taking a few architecture courses and renovating some country houses, in 1956 he founded Stoa, the first Catalan design studio, which produced lights by Enric Franch, among others.

Together with Jaume Vaquero, he founded Vapor in 1979. The company produced warm, simple lamps that ran counter to the technological trend of the time. „I made very simple things,“ confirms Llus. „Although the manufacturing process involved 25 separate operations, the end result was simplicity itself; all I wanted to do was pare away, pare away and pare away until I reached the pure essence of a simple, useful object!“

In his own words: „Over time, I realized that I was a very bad businessman. Fortunately, Marset showed interest in what we were doing in Vapor and most of our catalog is now part of their collection.“

Some time later, he worked for Targetti for 3 years to create a lighting series. In addition to creating lights for his own organization, he has also collaborated with companies such as Mobles 114 and Santa&Cole.

The Claris hanging lamp and the Finisterre street marker, designed in collaboration with Joan Gaspar, stand out among his many designs.

„When I think about it, I have always believed that the light in a room must also go with shadows, that there should be contrasts with the points of light. That’s what creates well-being, calm; your home must be a refuge from the aggressive nature in the city. Lights are lit for several hours a day, and the rest of the time they need to keep a certain discretion so that they don’t disturb you when they are off, and only become noticeable when they are on… like fireflies. Fashion doesn’t interest me, and I’ve never made fashionable lights because they soon go out of style. I’ve always made lamps that I liked.“

Manuel Valls Vergés

Barcelona, 1912-2000

Manuel Valls Vergés was born in Barcelona on February 3, 1912. His father was a doctor and he originally wanted to be one too, but in 1929, as a medical student, he visited the Barcelona International Expo and saw the Mies Van der Rohe pavilion: „When he saw the new materials and the beautiful things that uld made“, he decided to become an architect.

he graduated in architecture in 1940. A year later, he set up his studio with Jose Antonio Coderch. This partnership would last until the 1960s, as they became part of the „first post-war generation“. His first architectural phase was characterized above all by the construction of small detached houses on the coast of Catalonia. The simple forms and whitewashed walls would find their ultimate expression in 1951 in the Ugalde house near Barcelona. This construction of extreme simplicity is one of the most admired works of Spanish architecture from the last fifty years. For Manuel Valls Vergés, luxury came from the quality of the construction

„We were at university the same year as Coderch. Then we got our degrees, and once you get that, you have to find an office, a phone, table, pencil and paper and look for clients. We also became good friends with Coderch. He was a stand-up guy and he did a good job. We got on with it“

in 1960, he received the FAD Architecture Prize and began teaching at the Barcelona School of Architecture.

„The thrill of being a professor at an architecture school is to get a dose of vitality and the desire to do things from so many students because you’re not at a gathering of alumni, and that’s nice, right? And the experience that we had, we were able to pass on to our students. The course I had had projects to do, they had to check material strengths, the location, terrain, orientation, type of home…“

in 1982 he was awarded the gold medal of the C.O.A.C. (Catalan Architects‘ Association) and died in 2000. He was buried in the cemetery of Arenys de Mar, where he was the town architect for 23 years.

His works with Jose Antonio Coderch include, above all:

1952: Casa Catas es – Sitges / Building in La Barceloneta – Barcelona
1953 : Casa Dionisi – Sitges / Apartment building on Bach Street – Barcelona
1957: Casa Ballvé
1956: Casa Catases – Sitges

He pictures his work as having two sides. One is based on the idea to create objects that have a place in everyday life and solve a particular problem, the other one is more playful and related to the narrative side of the design process which often functions as a starting point. Depending on the project these two aspects come together and form useful commodities that show a slight layer of humor, social context or even naivety.

Xavier Mañosa

Barcelona, 1981

Xavier Mañosa founded Apparatu just five years ago and, in that short space of time, he has become one of the most up and coming ceramicists of his generation. When he took that step, he was living in Berlin. Perhaps that distance helped him to finally dedicate himself to what he had seen his parents doing during his childhood and which he had rejected, as an act of defiance, during his training as an industrial designer. In his case, the most fascinating part is probably that it is a combination of the two – his perspective from a distance and his eagerness to experiment linked to his knowledge of his trade, drawn from his home background.

Until 2009, Mañosa had his creative base in Berlin, from where he returned to the family workshop, located in an old industrial estate in Barcelona, where ceramic products for the building industry used to be produced. Nowadays, it is actually a focal point for antiques, which gives it a most inspiring atmosphere.

What fundamentally distinguishes Mañosa as a modern-day ceramicist is his boldness when it comes to combining different materials and to exploring new forms of expression. Another question by whichXavier Mañosa has always set great store, from the outset, is the way in which his work is presented, which is obviously a reflection of his training as a designer and the fact that he belongs to the ‚digital generation‘. On the one hand, his work stands out as a brand and, on the other, he raises its prominence through his Web site and by participating in numerous exhibitions and promotional events both inside Spain and elsewhere.

Pieces by Apparatu have been exhibited at contemporary design fairs and festivals in London, Frankfurt, Saint- Étienne, Tokyo, New York, México and Stockholm, as well as in Madrid and Barcelona.
