Theia

Table lamp from the Theia collection, designed by Mathias Hahn for Marset .

From light to shadow with a single gesture. The name of the Greek goddess Theia - mother of the sun, the moon and the dawn - gives its name to this lamp because its design is intended to express above all the beauty of light and the fascination we feel for it.

In Theia, materials and shapes are only the means to materialize the concept that has motivated his work: uniting light and shadow in the same piece. Theia has two faces, to discover them you just have to turn it gently on its axis. It can be directed towards the user and functions as a reading lamp. Or, towards an object or a wall, creating a subtle indirect light effect that warms up the environment in an instant. This twist completely changes the perception of the piece, since its metallic diffuser is totally opaque.

Its formal design is elementary and reduced: two hemispheres placed one horizontally and the other vertically that intersect each other. Elemental forms that, as in nature itself, make it possible for light to be projected, reflected and absorbed by objects from a light source, for the enjoyment of our gaze.
