SQUARE MARKET SET: CALIFORNIAN MODERNIST DESIGN REINVENTED THROUGH LIGHT

SQUARE MARKET SET: CALIFORNIAN MODERNIST DESIGN REINVENTED THROUGH LIGHT

A new 2026 collection inspired by the Case Study Houses

With the Square collection, Market Set unveils one of the standout releases from its 2026 Lookbook. Inspired by California’s iconic Case Study Houses, this lighting collection reinterprets the key design codes of Mid-Century modernism and seventies architecture through a warm, graphic, and contemporary approach.

Created in post-war California, the Case Study Houses aimed to redefine modern living by collaborating with visionary architects to design the homes of the future. Open spaces, architectural lines, natural materials, and omnipresent light shaped this new way of living focused on comfort, elegance, and simplicity.

The Square collection embraces this architectural heritage by transforming light into a true interior design element through bold geometric forms and sophisticated decorative balance.

The visual signature of the Square collection lies in its bold square shape softened by gently rounded edges. This geometry creates a strong architectural presence while maintaining a refined sense of softness.

The contrasting borders around the lampshades create new visual perspectives within the room and emphasize the graphic identity of each luminaire. Every pendant light, table lamp, and floor lamp appears to structure the interior space while bringing calmness and harmony.

The collection subtly plays with proportions and volumes to create lighting pieces that are both decorative and architectural.

The table lamps and floor lamps from the Square collection also reinterpret the iconic banker lamp style through a warmer and more sophisticated contemporary vision.

The result evokes the refined atmosphere of a chic studio office or a seventies-inspired modernist interior filled with soft lighting, sculptural furniture, and natural textures.

This subtle retro influence gives the collection a timeless decorative personality.

Warm and natural materials

Warm and natural materials

As with many Market Set collections, materials play a central role in the identity of Square.

The collection combines:

  • matte brushed metal with sharper architectural lines,
  • soft cream cotton lampshades,
  • and woven FSC® paper screens in warm natural tones.

This combination creates an elegant contrast between structured modernist forms and cozy textile softness.

The woven paper detail recalls the natural fiber blinds used in Californian modernist homes to gently filter sunlight. The light becomes warm, soft, and enveloping, creating an intimate atmosphere especially pleasant in the evening.

Lighting designed to create atmosphere

The Square collection is not simply designed to illuminate a room. It is designed to create ambiance.

Thanks to its soft filtering materials and structured silhouettes, the light diffuses gently while maintaining a strong decorative presence.

The pendant lights become stunning focal points above:

  • dining tables,
  • kitchen islands,
  • desks,
  • or contemporary living rooms.

The table lamps and floor lamps complete the atmosphere with warm accent lighting while reinforcing the decorative identity of the interior.
