Lab 2 Outdoor
Marset | Francesc Rifé
Sober, architectural, practical…The Lab is an outdoor wall lamp that incorporates LED technology. A variable frontlet—made of stone-like, iroko wood, or either black, grey, or white aluminum—allows it to alternately blend in to or stand out from its surroundings, making it an extremely versatile fixture ideal for a variety of applications.
In addition, custom signage can be integrated into the frontlet, in accordance with the style of graphic design in use in a given public area.
Made in Terrassa, Spain
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.
