In a world obsessed with symmetry and standardisation, the Portuguese lighting brand Serip revels in fluid, organic forms.
Founded in 1961 by Mário J. Pires, Serip’s early years were devoted to very classical concepts of lighting design and production. A gradual shift saw the studio embrace contemporary designs through the decades, eventually formalising its unique vision that underscores its latest collections. While the brand’s portfolio has grown from chandeliers to encompass monumental lighting installations and custom pieces, its commitment to the humanity of design remains consistent.
With mechanical elements of the production process almost absent, each Serip piece is a singular work of art, created by hand, with no two pieces alike. The result is a visual code that mimics the disproportion and unevenness found in nature; therein lies the brands’ unique appeal.
At Downtown Design 2017, the Folio collection sets the tone with its wreath like form featuring delicate maple leaves in Murano glass and metal.
The Aqua Collection reaffirms the brands strong connection to nature. The bronze structure expands in entangled branches that lead to floating glass droplets, lending an elegant, airy and fluid form.
Through several chromatic choices and design options, Serip’s unparalleled ability to produce bespoke, hand-made pieces makes it the perfect choice for high-end projects for distinguished clientele.
