With the Mercer Table Lamp, Barcelona's Marset and designers Javier M. Borrás and Joan Gaspar engage in some imaginative role-reversal. Placing the lamp's shade inside the clear blown-glass structure is a striking turnabout that offers different degrees of illumination according to the pleated shade's coloring. A natural cotton option creates both direct and diffused, all-around light; the pearl white creates a crisper effect while the black shade focuses light just through the top and bottom. Offered in 3 sizes including the Mercer Mini, perfect for a bedside table.
