Marset Mercer Light Shade

The Marset Mercer Light Shade is a decorative glass shade from Marset's Mercer range, designed by Joan Gaspar. Its shallow, wide drum profile and subtle smoked glass give a considered, modern presence suited to pendant or ceiling fittings that require downward illumination.

The shade's form is deliberately minimalist: a low-profile, wide cylindrical drum with a flat top and a recessed circular detail at the centre. This architectural recess and the simple geometry keep the silhouette calm and contemporary while adding a refined design cue.

Manufactured from transparent glass with a subtle grey/smoke tint, the surface is smooth and glossy with no visible patterns or texture. The clear construction makes materiality a feature, allowing the tint and finish to read clearly in ambient interiors.

Functionally the Mercer shade encloses a light source to provide diffusion and a neat visual casing. The open-bottom design places the light below the glass, directing illumination downwards while the smoked glass softens the emitted light.

The top surface has a central circular opening designed to accommodate a standard lamp socket or mounting hardware. The shade is intended to be placed over a bulb or lamp fitting; lamps and fixing hardware are supplied separately. This product is covered by a 2-year defects-only warranty.
