Promotion: Spanish lighting brand Marset has created Caramel, a range of wall sconces made using artisan hand-blown glass, which were shown at Salone del Mobile 2025 as part of Milan design week.

Created by industrial designer Joan Gaspar for Marset, the collection is intended for both compositional and singular wall lighting. Each light features a circular shape in either green, red, white or brown, and is available in three diameter sizes of 22, 28 and 38 centimetres.

"The initial brief was to create a wall light that could be singular or compositional, that could be used to create paintings of light on the wall," said Gaspar of Caramel.

A white light is utilised behind the coloured glass to create a diffused outer glow around the circular shape.

Up to three lights can be connected to a single electrical box via an accessory, allowing users to combine colours and sizes to create unique linear arrangements.

The rounded, coloured glass forms give a confectionery-like appearance and playful quality, leading to the collection's title, Caramel.

"From the appearance of the crystals and their colour, they look like hard candies," said Gaspar. "Caramel, when composed and depending on how it's arranged, can have a fun and casual feel."

Gaspar explained that the shape and colours were chosen to ensure the collection maintains a decorative quality alongside its lighting function, creating graphic arrangements that appear like wall art.

"Even when unlit, the product would have a strong, decorative and unique character," said Gaspar. "These are colours that combine very well together, and that, in my opinion, connect with a myriad of spaces."

Gasper explained that the collection's ornamental focus and minimal aesthetic were a priority when designing Caramel.

"Though there is an exercise in the treatment of light and materials behind it, the overall intended result was to be unique and surprising while using only a few core elements," said Gaspar.

"Everything in the design and creative followed from these initial concepts: the shape, the wall-mounting system and the simplicity of the glass body."

According to Marset, its Caramel collection aligns with the brand's design philosophy of creating products that can be elegantly integrated into a range of interiors.

"We are undoubtedly a modern, decorative manufacturer," said Tyler Jones, brand development manager at Marset. "But we want our products to be feasible for any project, to be able to fit in seamlessly with a modern design just as easily as they could stand out – like an art piece in a more classical space."
