Discocó Ceiling
Marset | Christophe Mathieu
Exuberant even when turned off, the richness of the light issuing from the Discocó lamp provides direct downward illumination along with a dramatic play of lights and soft shadows.
Its detailed study of incident light and light that bounces off of both sides of the 35 disks provide the lamp with an appealing gradation of light nuances and depth. Further reflections dance off the chrome-covered sphere at the core, where the disks are anchored.
When the light is turned off, it retains its attractive presence, hinting at the expansion of energy that is fully expressed when it is turned on.
The Discocó ceiling is available in two sizes and four finishes.

Brand
Marset
Marset was established in 1942 as a family business, not making lighting, but as a foundry. That foundation in casting metals did eventually segue into lighting design, however, with Francisco Marset formally establishing Marset Illuminacion in 1965.
The decades spent experimenting with and molding metal translated well into the contemporary lighting industry: manipulating all kinds of materials to create unexpected, atmospheric lighting effects.
Designer
Christophe Mathieu
Mathieu’s name is French and he was born in Germany, but his Spanish accent points to the Canary Islands, where he grew up. He reached Barcelona in the mid-1980’s to finish his degree in interior design. Soon afterward he headed to Milan, where he discovered industrial design collaborating 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 prize-winning project for the Piazza della Republica. His time in Milan had a profound effect on him.
Having lived in Barcelona for years now, he is one of Marset’s veteran designers and has created several successful products for the company.
