Begun in the 1940s as a family foundry business, Marset reestablished itself as a lighting company—Marset Illumiación—in 1965. The Barcelona–based organization creates innovative, clever lighting fixtures that are versatile enough to fit in private homes, hotels, restaurants, and corporations. Contemporary and refined, Marset’s lamps feature a restrained, spare aesthetic, allowing them to communicate seamlessly with modern interiors.

Lluís Porqueras was born in 1930 and studied various courses in architecture during his life. After his first work on restoring dwellings and country houses in l' Empordà, he founded Stoa in 1965, a pioneer Catalan design company that produced Enric Franch's lights. Although he started his career in design without much experience, he specialized in it little by little. In 1979, Porqueras founded another company, Vapor, with Jaume Vaquero. He has designed lights for renowned lighting companies, including Marset.
