Marset Scantling

The Marset Scantling Collection combines wood and metal in a design that celebrates the beauty and simplicity of basic geometric shapes. Created by Mathias Hahn for Marset, the collection includes a table lamp, floor lamp, and wall light. The word Scantling was often used in shipbuilding, referring to a wooden strip used as a unit of measurement.

Mathias Hahn understands the importance of light as part of human life and fully immerses himself in the design process to ensure that every detail is correct. After comprehensive testing, Hahn lived with the Scantling for a while. From this experience, he admitted that there were a couple of details that he hadn’t noticed before. This thorough process resulted in a highly functional product with impressive technical precision.

The Scantling Collection boasts a flexible system, using ball joints and arms to create a fully rotational shade. The deceptively simple-looking design requires no exposed springs or counterweights, leaving the frame clean and uncluttered. The use of metal and wood creates an effective contrast, blending classic and contemporary aesthetics. Each lamp is available in a white or black finish, a versatile colourway that complements a wide range of interiors. When switched on, the Scantling offers a bright beam of light that can be directed exactly where required, perfect for use as a reading light in an office, bedside, or sitting room.
