Inspired by the blossoming of spring flowers, the Nuura Apiales 6 Chandelier is a graceful, stylish centrepiece for any living or dining space. Consisting of glass globes suspended from metallic stems, the design draws heavily on the natural world, epitomising Sofie Refer’s understanding of organic forms. Each globe is mouth-blown by talented artisans, hanging from the slender stem like a blossom or bud.
The chandelier’s modest proportions make it ideally suited for a variety of different spaces, with a drop height that allows you to suspend it over a table, or keep it close to the ceiling to cast light across the whole room.
Sofie Refer was born in Denmark, 1974. Between 1998 - 2003 she studied at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation - Institute of Product Design, Glass and Ceramics.
Her designs are based on Scandinavian simplicity combined with an extravagant look. Throughout her professional life she has focused on working with lighting design as she is fascinated by light in all aspects, convinced that lighting is the most important and powerful aspect in all environments.
She creates lighting design with the deepest respect and passion for light. In that process she constantly seeks for new ways to play with and express light, also by using new technology components and light sources.
