Marset Soho Outdoor Ceiling Light

The Marset Soho Outdoor Ceiling Light, designed by Joan Gaspar, is a pendant-style outdoor ceiling light that pairs a broad, low-profile drum shade with a concise, stepped neck. The Soho's form reads as contemporary and restrained, intended for ambient illumination in covered exterior areas such as porches, canopies and sheltered terraces.

The design emphasises a soft, textured silhouette: a translucent, horizontally striated drum sits beneath a narrower neck, producing a stepped profile. The fitting is offered in Black and comes in three variants, allowing straightforward specification without changing the design intent.

Construction uses a rotary-moulded polyethylene shade with an opal methacrylate diffuser, creating a uniform surface that becomes more pronounced when back-lit. The minimalist finish lacks visible external fasteners and keeps the assembly visually monolithic.

Light is delivered both downwards through the open base for usable task or area illumination and outwards through the translucent sides to create ambient warmth and balanced shadow. The three-point wire suspension keeps the broad shade level while a central power cord provides the electrical feed.

This Soho is rated IP44, making it suitable for covered outdoor locations where protection against splashing water is required. The product includes a two-year defects-only warranty and should be specified with appropriate lamps or LED modules according to the technical sheet supplied with the chosen variant.

At Lighting Design Online we treat the Soho as a considered option for sheltered exterior projects: its material choices, IP44 rating and disciplined form make it easy to include in layered lighting schemes. We offer clear guidance on placement and compatibility so your specification delivers the intended ambience, with the assurance of quality construction and project-friendly information.
