Tam Tam Suspension
Marset | Fabien Dumas
It’s a juicy bunch of grapes, Nick Mason’s drums from Pink Floyd, the constellation of Perseus…there are so many examples that could be used to describe the Tam Tam, a new perception in the world of lamps, which extols repetitiveness by focusing on the archetypal lampshade: a number of light sources pointed in different directions, geometrically arranged to invoke a feeling of organized chaos. The Tam Tam consists of a central in lacquered aluminum, to which are attached various satellite shades which can be rotated through 360º by means of a swivel mechanism. An opalescent, methacrylate diffuser over the open end softens the light.
Tam Tam is available as a suspension lamp in two sizes: a regular size with either 3 or 5 satellite shades and mini size with 3 satellite shades. In all of them, the central shade is available in black or off-white, and the satellite shades can be combined in black, off-white, orange, brown, green, sand, or blue.

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.
