Inheriting the craft skills of a smelting workshop set up in the 1940s by Paco Marset,  Marset was founded in 1976 and began manufacturing lamps. In the mid-90s, when the firm’s third-generation family members joined the company, design began to be seen as central to the development and growth of the business. Soon after it, became known as a truly original, innovative lighting brand and for the high quality and integrity of its designs, co-created with Spanish designers.
