Bolita
Marset | kaschkasch
In such a digital era as today’s, when you can buy anything with just a click and read by swiping a finger, we sometimes miss something as human as a touch, and everything that entails. The new Bolita lamp beckons you to touch it to adjust it.
Its structure is as simple as it is magical: a rounded surface that houses an LED located on a central axis, and an overlapping glass sphere that when moved, creates an eclipse effect. Moving the Bolita dims or boosts the light, an interplay that captivates with its beautiful visual effect.

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
kaschkasch
Design studio kaschkasch was founded in 2011 by Florian Kallus and Sebastian Schneider. The duo works in furniture, lighting design and art direction for several national and international clients.
Being a duo, collaboration is a crucial aspect of kaschkasch’s work. Their design language is a symbiosis of straightforwardness and beauty that toes the line between function and formal severity. The results question prevailing norms and offer new answers to existing everyday demands.
Florian Kallus and Sebastian Schneider share a background that combines hands-on and academic education: both are trained as cabinet makers followed by studies in product design. This versatility informs everything kaschkasch does, through traditional craftsmanship techniques and a mindset geared towards innovation, disruption and new technological solutions.
