What makes the home personalized? It’s in the little clues people choose to put on shelves, walls, tables... everywhere to add warmthand cheer. Things they love to see everyday.

“When I was weaving baskets in schoolI could never have imagined that yearslater I would be crouching down in theheat of Hanoi, discussing weavingtechniques with skilled basket-makers.With LERAN pendant lamps I gave acontemporary expression to the ancienthandicraft - resulting in an excitingmeeting.The form comes in several sizes and thelargest is like a light sculpture. Rattan isa fantastic natural material that workswell as a light filter. The shade gives asoft warm light, even with a low-energybulb.”

“When designing the KARDEMUMMAseries, we worked with stripes in different directions and widths tocreate an interesting play of line patterns on the plant pots. To lightenup on the straightness, we also addedorganic leaf shapes to some lines. Wechose white for the reliefpattern on the white pots, so it wouldn’t stand out too much. This way,attention is drawn instead to the material of the pots and the plants youhave in them. Each plant pot in theseries is different, but they all matchreally well together, too.”
