Lise Vester, a designer, found inspiration in healing architecture during a visit to a hospice center, leading her to merge intuition with design passion.
Supported by mentors, Vester studied furniture design in Denmark and later pursued a master's degree at the Royal College of Art in London.
Establishing her studio in Copenhagen in 2022, Vester's design philosophy focuses on creating playful, sculptural pieces that evoke curiosity and emotional engagement.
Vester envisions crafting jewelry in her later years, fascinated by its storytelling aspect and connections to identity and memories.
In her top five picks, Vester highlights 'Your Brain on Art' book, 'Bottled Pondering' art piece, Ai Weiwei's Murano Glass Chandelier, Japanese neon signs, and 'Elevated Copenhagen Bench'.
She admires glass for its transformative qualities, citing the Murano glass chandelier and its reimagination of tradition as a reflection on mortality.
Vester finds Japanese neon signs and Bruce Nauman's work inspiring in exploring the storytelling potential of light and signage.
She appreciates innovative art pieces like 'Bottled Pondering' that encourage discussions on mental health and well-being.
Vester's own works, such as 'Lighthouse', 'Neon Chandelier Idea Generator', 'Reflections', 'Dream View Sphere', and 'Dream View Chair', reflect her emphasis on light, form, and reflection.
Through her designs, Vester aims to create experiences that spark introspection, self-awareness, and new perspectives in viewers' daily lives.
