Marset Ringo Ceiling Light

Essentially, it’s a basic geometric shape in volume but its material is astonishing, resembling a block of ice, at the same time both solid and weightless. Its designer, Joan Gaspar, has used transparent polycarbonate to create optical reflections, giving the impression of an organic design made out of glass.

Ringo sets ups a dialogue between light and matter. Switched off it’s a forceful object with a strong presence; switched on its transparency defines its volume and filters the light. An interplay of opposites in which the light manages to make the material less dense and its design weightless.
