The starting point for the design of the Aura wall lamp – presented on the occasion of Light + Building 2016 – is the humble shape of a transparent glass carafe.
A humble glass carafe imprinted on the eye of its designer was the start of the design process of the Aura wall lamp. This decorative lamp, which provides outstanding light while turned on but stands out beautifully while off as well, was inspired by traditional carafes, which were common household items for years.
Aura by Joan Gaspar for Marset
The Aura follows an emotional design, because of what glass means in the collective memory, as well as a rational and contemporary design because it draws on LED technology. The opalescent, transparent, or coloured glass of its lampshade allows the light to bathe the wall and creates a luminous effect without harshness, while also generating a point of interest in the space.
