Timeless design never goes out of style, and it seems its memories stay close to us. Designer Jaume Ramírez explores the archetypal table luminaire, in which a conical shade distributes light evenly, with the Fragile lamp for Marset. Ramírez’s experimentation begins with a more streamlined shape that’s a mix of geometric forms – cone, sphere, and cylinder join together to emit ambient light from within.

While Fragile’s shape is familiar, its material composition is unexpected. Glass – available in amber or transparent colorways – not only reveals the light source and allows for a warm illumination, but also speaks to how the lamp assimilates with its surroundings. There it stands – unencumbered – with nothing to hide.
Fragile manages to marry past and present with its lighting design, bringing to mind the oil lamps and candles of yesteryear. But in this case, Ramírez’s use of glass expresses the fragility of the present moment. Who knew that a standard lamp could surprise us yet again?
