Liris

The Liris collection represents the culmination of an intensive design process, research, and craftsmanship, embodying Gejst Design’s DNA of functionality and aesthetic expertise. Created with precision and care, Liris is poised to establish itself at a high level in decorative lighting solutions.

Design duo Thalea Schmalenberg and Kasper Fris Egelund found inspiration in the elegance of the traditional paper fan. Their fascination with its simple and poetic expression, as well as its materials and interactive properties, sparked the creation of their design concept: Liris.

Beginning with a table lamp, the concept evolved into a comprehensive collection featuring pendant, floor, wall, and table lamps. The aim was to blend the playful, handcrafted essence of a fan with a modern industrial foundation. By enhancing light quality through the integration of a small elevated LED light source, they transformed the folded fan into both a lampshade and a reflector. When positioned against a wall, the lamp emits a soft, evenly dispersed ambient glow.

The fusion of Liris’ timeless craftsmanship with modern technology resulted in a collection that resonates with both craftsmanship, tradition, and modern aesthetics.
