Marset - Pleat Box Pendant

Marset - Pleat Box Pendant. The idea behind the Pleat Box is that of a sophisticated combination between a digitally-designed crease in a piece of cloth, the silhouette of which is applied to a ceramic base.

The brilliant white enamel interior creates a glitter effect, which enhances the light from the lamp. It can also be supplied in gold on the inside, which generates an extremely warm light. Pleat Box has come about through the first-ever collaboration between Xavier Manosa, a master ceramicist from Barcelona, and the Mashallah design studio in Berlin with Marset.

Brand Story:
Marset USA is a beautifully edited lighting collection that revels in subtle detail and maximal ambiance, resulting in luminaires that engage the senses and enhance quality of life through clean, contemporary design, innovative production techniques and flawless craftsmanship. The company integrates an ever-growing range of disciplines which result of streamlined, sophisticated lighting that infuses an environment with warmth and personality.

Ingenious: an illuminated tromp l’oeil! Pleat Box isn’t the pliable fabric it appears to be, but a sculptural pendant exuding soft ambiance. In keeping with Marset USA’s collaborative approach, Pleat Box combines the efforts of an innovative ceramicist, Xavier Mañosa of Barcelona, and technological artisans, Hande Akçayli and Murat Koçyigit of the Berlin-based design studio, Mashallah. Their digitally rendered “creased cloth” is cast in ceramic, highlighting the dichotomy between appearance and composition. The exterior is offered in white, underglazed red clay and grey; the interior is available in brilliant white enamel or glittering gold, each designed to change the way you see light.
