Sips
Marset | Christophe Mathieu
Ingenious, minimal, and decisive, this is the new Sips portable lamp.
An understated, timeless design with a very clear purpose: to create a distinctive, intimate lighted space, even outdoors.
With a small opaque shade, the Sips illuminates the table directly but without dazzling or overpowering the space. Its wider base provides stability and includes a touch switch with three light intensities. It is available in two shades that fit easily in culinary and leisure spaces: warm white with a silver stem, and dark brown with the stem in a gold finish.
Free of cables, lightweight, with a simple structure and neutral colors, this design becomes a discreet part of the table, without formal or chromatic excesses. An object simplified to the max that allows easy placement and mobility and ensures good lighting in restaurants, bars, cocktail bars, terraces, and patios.

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.
