An understated lamp for the table

Sips dates from 2023 and is a portable lamp by Christophe Mathieu, described by Marset as ingenious, minimal and decisive. It is an understated, timeless design with a very clear purpose: to create a distinctive, intimate lighted space, even outdoors.

Simplified to the max

The lamp is free of cables and lightweight, with a simple structure. Marset presents it as an object simplified to the max that allows easy placement and mobility, so the light stays a discreet part of the table without formal excesses.
