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.

Zero Waste

Zero Waste is a project initiated by AAU Design Lab, exploring how offcuts and waste from furniture production can be transformed into new designs, in this case a stackable stool, that highlights the value of discarded materials and offers them a new beginning. The stools are made in collaboration with Muuto from their offcuts, and were presented during 3 Days of Design as part of a panel talk in the garden of Designmuseum Danmark.

Inner View Object

Muuto, Numbered edition of Inner View. To celebrate Muuto 20th anniversary, a new series of collectible works produced in 150 individually numbered editions was made. The pieces explored experimentation, materiality, and emotional presence through two distinct perspectives: Lise Vester’s Inner View Object, and Spacon’s Close to Heart chair.

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."
