Louise Liljencrantz 5 Picks From Philia Collection
Louise Liljencrantz is a Swedish designer and co-founder of Veermakers. Her work explores the relationship between sculptural form and functionality, with a particular sensitivity toward materiality, craftsmanship, and proportion.
Working between Stockholm and Paris, she develops collectible furniture and interiors defined by a refined balance between Nordic restraint and contemporary expression. Through Veermakers, Liljencrantz approaches design with a strong attention to detail, creating pieces that feel both timeless and tactile.
Veermakers recently opened its first showroom in Le Marais, Paris, further expanding the studio’s presence within the contemporary collectible design scene.
What captivates me is the way the onyx stone captures the light, making the object feel alive. Its subtle transparency and the way the material shifts throughout the day are especially compelling.
The form carries a precision that feels distinctly architectural, yet the glass bubbles soften it, introducing an almost fluid quality, like light moving through water.
Its expression holds a delicate fragility while remaining clearly sculptural. This creates a sense of life, as if the light is part of its form rather than just its function.
An organic quality runs through the piece, giving it a presence that feels both ancient and quietly alive. I’m drawn to how it carries an almost ceremonial weight, while remaining soft, sensual, and deeply present.

I’m drawn to the raw simplicity; it feels almost ritualistic. The combination of solid bronze and the pared-back form gives it a strong, almost architectural presence.
