Babila

CA$0.00

Marset | Marco Zanuso Jr.

Babila demonstrates that, when it comes to a design, the material can be as important as the shape. This new outdoor wall sconce is of chrome-plated aluminum, with a rounded mirror producing a panoramic effect, reflecting its surroundings. It is not designed to be an architectural element, but rather a simple and beautiful object that draws attention, whether on or off, as it reveals the daily life occurring around it.

Babila comes in two sizes, 7 and 11 inches in diameter, and is also available in white or brown varnished aluminum, more discreet versions than the chrome one. In all of them an aura of blurred light is generated, a detail that contrasts with its material. Its lighting is indirect, soft on the wall, and well integrated into outside spaces.

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.

Designer

Marco Zanuso Jr.

Marco Zanuso was born in Milan, when he lives and works, and he graduated in Architecture in Florence, with an experimental thesis on radical architecture and its main characters: Superstudio, Michele De Lucchi, Andrea Branzi, Ufo, Mendini ed Ettore Sottsass.

He spent long periods in France, Spain, and especially in the United States discovering and getting involved in the architecture of Arcosanti, Land Art, Berkeley, and the first experiments on solar energy. In Vienna with artists and architects founded Rastlos, a group that performs advice and research on issues of urban planning, organizing exhibitions and seminars.
