Design on Prescription

In Design on Prescription - Design på Recept, furniture and product designer Lise Vester transforms OFFICINET - a former pharmacy in Bredgade - into a sensory design pharmacy, where light, materials, and aesthetics are explored as tools for presence, reflection, and new perspectives.

Solo Exhibition at mrnw x inscale (Daegu, South Korea)

Lise Vester’s exhibition in Korea presents Muuto’s Dream View Bench across the outdoor garden and rooftop areas of MRNW, inviting visitors to pause, rest, and experience the landscape from new perspectives. Inside, a selection of Lise’s artworks expands the experience, creating a quiet setting where material, form, and atmosphere encourage reflection and sensory engagement.

Lise Vester in South Korea & Japan

Lise Vester spent two weeks in Korea and Japan with Muuto, talking about the Dream View Bench, their collaboration, and their shared interest in neuroscience.

Jyllands-Posten Article by Freja Lillevang Sørensen, and Rune Nørager (Designpsykologi.dk)

Selected as guest exhibitor with opening in October 2024 at Maker // V-10 (DK)

The theme invites a debate through furniture about what the near future will look like and how we should design-wise relate to it. How is it possible to create community-focused furniture in 2024? Danish furniture design has a long and strong tradition of understanding and responding to future challenges through a deep-rooted understanding of its origins and the qualities inherent in past designs, and what it takes to renew this tradition."
