Collection Story
Origin
Lauro was designed by P. Aragay and J. Pérez Mateo and first released in 1973. Marset reissued it fifty years later in the belief that good design never ages. The collection stands for the essence and origins of Marset, when design became a strategic pillar of the brand.
Design Language
The reissue is faithful to the original. Base and stem are steel, a material difficult to shape and typical of the industry at the time, in chrome or charcoal, and the methacrylate shade is translucent opal for diffuse light or two-layer black for direct light. The shade can be rotated and moved along the support to direct the light, and the lamp works with a light bulb, in this case an LED.
Key Pieces
The original range had a table lamp 41 cm high with a 38 cm base and a floor lamp on the same base, 135 cm high. The reissue adds a wall lamp 50 cm high.
