Miso lighting series
A metaphor for innovation
The lighting series Miso was born when our interior designers developed the interior concept for Nova in Örebro. The building houses Örebro Business School, a place intended to inspire entrepreneurship and innovation. The shape of the Miso range – a distillate of a mushroom – became a metaphor for all the ideas that will emerge in the university environment.
Blond produced Miso, a series of light fixtures inspired by our designs for Örebro Business School. We aimed to merge the hard and soft elements of the environment. To achieve this, we let the form transition from square to organic. The base features molded aluminum, while the shades use pressure-lathed metal.
The aluminium provides a visual weight that fits well in the raw architecture, while the lathed shades harmonize with the decoration.
”We were already at an early stage of the project inspired by all the activities that were going to be housed in the new building, from the Business School to Drivhuset and the Entrepreneur forum. Innovative ideas will emerge throughout the building – a bit like mushrooms in a fertile environment. From here, we developed a distilled shape which we named Miso”, says Mathieu Gustafsson, product designer.
