Marset expands Fragile lighting collection by Jaume Ramírez
Originally conceived as a single elegant design, Marset expands the Fragile lighting range by Jaume Ramírez with a new size, introducing new possibilities across pendant, chandelier and wall-light formats. This new scale also extends to the table lamp, which is now available in two sizes.
Fascinated by timeless design, the designer was initially drawn to the archetypal table lamp, with its shade casting light in every direction. Taking this as his starting point, he explored and experimented with glass, arriving at cleaner, more defined shapes. The resulting collection plays with geometry: a cone and a sphere frame a cylinder that emits a soft, diffuse glow upwards from below.
The new, smaller table lamp is more visually balanced. Its different compositions play with the presence or absence of three geometric elements: the sphere, the cone and the cylinder. The base that anchors the lamp is available in three finishes: aluminium, black and matt white. Each combination calls to mind different influences and familiar archetypes from the history of lighting. Finally, an integrated dimmer allows the light level to be adjusted, and the lamp is available in two colour temperatures: 2200K and 2700K.

The new Fragile pendant hangs directly from the ceiling, casting a soft glow gently enveloped by the glass without being confined by it. It resembles a lit candle suspended from above. A cluster accessory also allows several lamps to be connected to a single light fitting, creating arrangements of up to nineteen units to illuminate large spaces. An aesthetic design that brings light together in compositions that illuminate with formal restraint, without imposing on the space. Small, delicate and designed to be repeated, the Fragile pendant is ideal for projects where light itself becomes a building material.
The new Fragile chandelier features a striking aluminium structure supporting three, six or nine individual lamps. Each small lamp provides warm, ambient light, while the fixture itself includes a downward-facing spotlight, enhancing the chandelier’s practicality. The three- and six-lamp versions can illuminate spaces and surfaces of any size, while the nine-lamp version is designed for spaces with high ceilings.
This new design draws out the visual contrast between the solidity of its mount and the delicacy of its forms and materials. Its arrangement is reminiscent of a fractal, a geometric shape repeated at different scales. The Fragile chandelier creates a distinct architectural form and organises the space through repetition, order and precision of light.
Finally, the new Fragile wall light comes in a range of configurations, with a striking aluminium structure supporting one or two lamps. The design draws out the contrast between the solidity of the mount and the delicacy of its forms and materials. The new collection also includes a single lamp version mounted directly onto the wall.
