Collection Story
Origin
Dipping Light is a lamp family by Jordi Canudas for Marset. It was born as an experiment, dipping a lit light bulb into paint several times, and the experiment turned into a lamp. The table lamp is dated 2018 and the portable, pendant, wall and ceiling lamps 2019. The family won the 2019 Wallpaper Design Award, the Best of Year Award 2018 and the MetropolisLikes Award in New York.
Design Language
The layers of paint draw concentric circles that trap the light and soften its intensity, so the paint becomes a screen that colours the light and gives it texture. The process is artisanal and makes each lamp unique. Three more sober finishes, cream, chocolate and burgundy, joined white, green and amber; the bases are brushed brass, with graphite offered on the table lamps.
Key Pieces
- Dipping Light Table: made in three sizes, with a base in brass or graphite.
- Dipping Light Portable: a battery version with a switch on the body and three dimming positions.
- Dipping Light Pendant: four diameters, with a cluster accessory and a cluster configurator.
