The name MVV comes from the initials of his name, a way of reclaiming his authorship. This was the wish of his grandson—also an architect—and the collaborators at his studio, Two-bo. Pablo, María, and Alberto have revived this lamp 45 years later. Marset acts as a hinge in time, taking the original design—an octagon with overlapping slats—and updating it by giving it a double skin: cherry wood on the outside of the slats, and white on the inside to optimize the quality of the light. The original dimensions – 45 cm – are respected, and the internal structure, originally made of iron, is now also made of polycarbonate to make it lighter. Using wood as a material, the MVV achieves exceptionally warm lighting. A steel and glossy black polycarbonate structure supports eight PET panels with a cherry wood exterior and a white interior. A transparent methacrylate diffuser sits atop the panel.
