Lise Vester Studio is a Copenhagen–based design practice working at the intersection of craft, design and atmosphere. Rooted in principles from healing architecture and neuroaesthetics, the studio explores how materials, light and form can support wellbeing and shift perception. The work spans sculptural lighting, optical objects and spatial installations developed through hands–on experimentation in close collaboration with makers. Each piece is conceived as a sensory tool—inviting pause, reflection and a deeper connection to place and self.

In Design on Prescription (Design på Recept), Lise Vester transforms Officinet—once a pharmacy—into a sensory 'design pharmacy,' where light, materials and aesthetics are explored as tools for rest, reflection and wellbeing. The exhibition merges experimental craft with healing design principles in atmospheric works, where light and form are gently 'prescribed' as poetic pauses for contemplation. Visitors can take home small 'design prescriptions,' offering inspiration and insights into how neuro–aesthetics and design can support human wellbeing.

2050 Furniture is a gentle rebellion for nature, people, and the future. Today’s conventional furniture industry is resource–intensive and highly centralised. Valuable local resources—such as wood waste—remain underutilised, while many people are excluded from the workforce. 2050 Furniture is created to question and even change this system. This new furniture production transforms local wood waste into high–end furniture through cooperative, local production that fosters inclusive and meaningful employment. 2050 Furniture scales through new furniture series developed in new communities, expanding a local, circular, and regenerative model of production. 2050 Furniture is Doughnut economics in practice.
