Making something out of nothing.
Creating maximum designs from minimal amounts of materials…
This is the basic concept that underlies the creation, since 1994, of the light fixtures of Jacco Maris. These are unique objects that combine powerful and exciting looks with graceful harmony and subtle elegance, and which are skilfully and individually handcrafted in our own studio.
Most of the Jacco Maris lighting designs are based on metal and steel. These materials and the simplicity in light design are the most important trademark of Jacco Maris Design.
Stainless steel, black steel, cast metal and brass are distinctive elements that are used simply on their own or in combination with other material such as leather. Over the years numerous remarkable lighting collections have been developed, each with its own distinct character.
All light fixtures are made by hand. This enables Jacco Maris to supplement its standard collections with bespoke work and special designs for projects, incorporating the client’s specific wishes in every fine detail.
After hours…
When the working day fades, the atelier takes on a different kind of presence.
The space becomes quiet, but never empty; materials, tools and unfinished details remain exactly where the process paused, carrying the traces of what was shaped and refined throughout the day.
In that stillness, the making becomes almost more visible. Not through movement, but through what has been left behind.
Every piece begins here, long before the light is switched on.

30 years of Jacco Maris.
A milestone worth celebrating! So the team packed their bags and headed to Croatia for a few days filled with good food, beautiful places and fun activities.
A moment to step away, enjoy together and celebrate the people behind the brand.
Behind every Jacco Maris design is a team with a shared love for craft, light and good company.

A closer look at the finish ✨
Many Jacco Maris lamps are finished with a powder coating, giving them their beautiful matte appearance and strong, durable surface.
Here’s a selection of lamps with this special finish.

The same shape can create a completely different feeling, depending on the finish.
In cast aluminium with refined powder-coated finishes, clark has a clean, strong and architectural presence. In solid patinated bronze, the fixture feels warmer, richer and more robust, with a surface that reflects the light in a softer way.
Each finish changes how clark lives on the wall.
Shaped by material, finish and light.

Why powder coating?
Because colour is only one part of the finish.
Powder coating gives a fixture its colour, texture and character, while creating a strong and durable surface. From soft matte tones to deeper, more expressive finishes, each coating changes how the light feels within a space.
Refined, protective and made to last.
At Jacco Maris, the finish is part of the design.

Different colours, different characters.
Many Jacco Maris fixtures are available in refined powder-coated finishes.
benben shows the full colour range especially well. From soft neutrals to deeper, more expressive tones, each finish gives the design a different feeling.
Subtle, bold, warm and architectural.
Because the right colour changes more than the fixture.
It changes how the light feels in the space.

The final touch of bronze.
After the patination process, the bronze clark receives one extra finishing step: polishing by hand.
This process brings out the beautiful shine of the material and gives the surface a richer, more luxurious appearance. It also influences the way light reflects on the fixture, creating a softer and warmer glow.
A glossy finish, shaped by craftsmanship.
This is how clark’s distinctive presence comes to life.

Surface defines character.
A coating is never just a colour. It changes how a light fixture feels, reflects and lives in a space.
Soft, bold, matte, deep or understated: every surface adds its own layer to the design.
Because at Jacco Maris, light is shaped by more than form alone.
It is shaped by material, finish and character.

Sculptural presence, cast in light.
clark brings more than illumination to a wall. Its strong shape, refined finishes and distinctive up-and-down glow add depth, contrast and character to any space.
Available in cast aluminium with refined powder-coated finishes, or in solid patinated bronze for a warmer, more robust character.

Some pieces don’t ask for attention.
They simply have presence.
clark is one of them.
A sculptural wall light with a strong silhouette, refined finishes and a glow that moves both up and down the wall.
A light fixture that not only looks exclusive, but feels that way too.
Like jewelry for your home.
