Market Set

uniquely designed lighting collections

Market Set: we hear this name a lot, and this is only the beginning.

Straight from Gironde, this French design house – specialising in lighting – introduces us to creations imbued with French craftsmanship. Every six months, the brand, owned by its parent company Corep, launches a new collection offering affordable luxury. Its designers, who aim to break the mould of traditional lighting to position it as a high-end piece, present collections that are as varied as they are original: whilst sometimes drawing on industrial inspiration, Market Set draws on more minimalist influences to create a stylish ambience.

The guiding principles: chic, contemporary style and a love of materials. From these key concepts emerge collections with graphic lines and an undeniably chic aesthetic: table lamps, floor lamps, pendant lights, chandeliers… Market Set has everything you need to decorate your home. We must mention the highly acclaimed ‘Screen’ pendant light with its openwork cane panels, which offer undeniable decorative appeal and can create a unique atmosphere (available with 1 or 4 bulbs).

With its Murano paper and white metal panels, the white ‘Screen’ pendant light from Market Set is the perfect addition to your home, lending a more contemporary feel to your décor. This designer ceiling light will look great in a living room, dining room or even a bedroom. Also available as a wall light, the Screen range is perfect even for the smallest spaces, such as hallways, or can be used as a bedside lamp to add a Scandinavian touch and a sense of escapism.

Market Set presents a diverse range of collections, showcasing wood, glass, steel, fabrics, cane and rattan. We’re sure you’ll find the interior lighting of your dreams amongst their wide range of light fittings: from the Singapore collection, with its table lamps featuring such distinctive lampshades, to the Gatsby collection with its floor lamps featuring metal panels for a modern yet vintage look, and the Waterlily collection, which showcases steel through its openwork panels for an industrial style… Market Set offers a wealth of designer lamps with a highly varied range of light fittings, which are sure to find a place in your home.

To add style to your home and bring a warm touch to your décor, let yourself be swept away by the world of Market Set and put your trust in the new trendsetters in designer lighting!

Frequently asked questions

What is Market Set?

Market Set is a French brand founded in 2008 in Paris by Sophie and Olivier Lapidus. Initially just a small range of occasional furniture in their shop, it gradually grew into a brand in its own right with a comprehensive catalogue: furniture, lighting and decorative accessories. The Market Set spirit can be summed up in a few words: French elegance, timeless design, European production. The brand favours pieces that can outlast passing trends: soft lines, fine materials (brass, leather, marble, solid wood) and meticulous finishes. The colours remain classic (black, white, beige, spruce green) with a few characteristic touches of brushed brass. Production takes place mainly in Europe (Italy, Portugal, France), with regular quality controls. Market Set is now distributed in several European countries and ranks among the most popular French design brands in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The Cool Republic is one of the leading Market Set stockists in France.

Which Market Set pieces should you go for?

Several categories really stand out at Market Set. Lighting is the brand's true signature: brushed brass pendant lights, tripod floor lamps in wood and brass, industrial wall lights, and table lamps on marble bases. The Tic Toc collection (brass pendant and wall lights) has become iconic. Side tables in marble and brass, pedestal tables and sofa-end tables bring classic elegance to living rooms. The mirrors (Tournesol and Sunburst collections) are in high demand for their mid-century feel. On the furniture side, the catalogue is more limited but carefully curated: wood and fabric chairs, Scandinavian-style armchairs, benches. Decorative accessories (marble vases, black metal plant stands, woven metal baskets) round out the collection. Market Set's strength: timeless design that never goes out of fashion, ideal for pieces you'll keep for 10-20 years without visual fatigue.

Is Market Set really made in France?

A significant part of the catalogue is, around 50-60%. The brushed brass light fittings are made in France or Italy (depending on the model). The marble tables and pedestal tables come from specialist Italian workshops. The solid wood pieces often come from Portugal. The metal accessories (baskets, stands) are produced in France or Poland. Some of the textiles and decorative accessories come from Asia, with Market Set quality controls in place. The product page always states the country of manufacture. To support made in France, go for the brass light fittings (Tic Toc, Andromaque, Caravane), the marble tables and the signature pieces. Delivery times are shorter for European production (3-7 days in France compared with 2-4 weeks for imported items). Expect to pay 30-50% more than for an equivalent Asian brand, but with far superior quality and a lifespan of at least 15-20 years with no visible deterioration.
