Making something out of nothing.
Creating maximum designs from minimal amounts of materialsโ€ฆ

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 clientโ€™s specific wishes in every fine detail.

Along a wall, light begins to shape the atmosphere.  With ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น, a single element creates a quiet rhythm.  Bold, yet clearly present.  Placed beside a bed, along a hallway or as part of a larger composition, the light follows the surface and adds depth to the space.  Small in scale, yet precise in presence.  ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ป | ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น  #jaccomaris #benben #walllamp #architecturallighting #sculpturallighting #lightingdesign #interiorarchitecture #dutchdesign
Not every development begins with the search for something new. Often, it begins with refining what already exists.  tubular evolves through repetition and precision. Proportions are adjusted, materials are tested and details are reconsidered.  Small refinements can have a significant impact on balance, alignment and the behaviour of light.  Rather than pursuing novelty, the focus remains on precision and on making each version more resolved than the last.  Built to endure.

As conversations unfold and plates are shared, tubular introduces a quiet composition of light above the surface, bringing rhythm without overwhelming the room.  The slender glass elements allow colour to settle gently into the space, casting a soft glow across the table while reflections shift subtly with movement below. Glass, shadow and light begin to interact with the surroundings, creating a sense of warmth that feels present without being dominant.  Over time, the composition becomes part of the atmosphere of the room, shaping how the space is experienced during shared moments.  Defined by glass.

A quiet walk through the showroom.  Light, material and proportion reveal themselves gradually, as each object interacts with the surrounding space.  Together forming a larger composition that unfolds throughout the space.  #jaccomaris #showroom #architecturallighting #sculpturallighting #lightingdesign #interiorarchitecture #dutchdesign
Slender in form and precise in detail, tubular color shake introduces a quiet rhythm of light that feels both delicate and architectural. Inspired by the craft of stained glass, each element carries colour with clarity and depth, allowing light to pass through with a soft, refined glow.  Used as a single element, it remains subtle and restrained. Composed in groups, the line grows into a larger gesture, shaping the space with colour and reflection.  Defined by glass.

Every curve begins with material.  Leather is cut, shaped and refined by hand in our own atelier. The line is not imposed, but discovered through movement and adjustment.  From raw surface to sculptural presence.  Built on restraint. Made to last.  #jaccomaris #sculpturallighting #lightingdesign #dutchdesign
