Marset have collaborated with set designer Sonia Rentsch and photographer for their new Young Talents initiative. The Spanish brand is focused on exploring artistic fields and in turn expanding public perception of their purview, facilitated by meaningful partnerships with emerging artists. Going beyond just the product, the collaborations intend to explore the ‘beauty of light’, inviting artists to explore personal interpretations of Marset designs to capture new meanings.
Inspired by the intimate warmth of the portable LED Bicoca lamp, Rentsch and Stein conceptualised “the optimism of brightening life”, combining natural and manufactured elements to create a contemporary, joyful Nature Morte.
Sonia Rentsch consistently draws on nature throughout her work, harking back to a childhood spent in the Australian Grampian Mountains. After graduating from RMIT in 2002, Rentsch worked as an industrial designer for 10 years before finding her niche working on still life projects in Berlin. Robin Stein’s varied portfolio and bold use of depth and colour was the perfect match for the Marset project. “It’s so important to me to find good light. I asked Robin to shoot the job because I like his lighting. Marset makes beautiful lights. It all fits nicely together,” says Rentsch.
