Inspired by the Tivoli amusement park in central Copenhagen, Sofie Refer’s latest piece of sculptural lighting combines strikingly minimalist aesthetics with a bold use of cutting-edge lighting technology.
The scalloped armature extends out behind the spherical diffuser like a frilly collar, subtly hinting back at the lamp’s ringside origins. Within the diffuser, an LED bulb can cast a pool of soft, calming illumination. Whether used to brighten up a staircase, or to add an extra dimension to a living room, the lamp is ideally suited to a wide range of spaces and aesthetics.
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.
