Our Story

Lippe was born out of a desire to approach lighting design in a personal and unconventional way – to combine light, form, and atmosphere with a distinctive touch. There has always been a fascination with different materials, and during design studies, the need to work with something other than traditional wood or metal emerged. The goal was to bring elements into the design that resonate deeply: color, transparency, lightness – and a hint of surprise. Acrylic was chosen for its compelling balance between visual appeal and functionality.

Plastic is often viewed critically, but it's easy to forget that when used thoughtfully and responsibly, it can be a durable and sustainable material. Lippe’s lamps are carefully handcrafted in Finland, designed to last in both form and function.

The visual vision behind each piece is allowed to take space – sometimes with odd or unexpected shapes – making the designs truly one-of-a-kind. Each model begins with an idea that lingers, that stays in the mind – eventually transforming into an object that finds its place in someone’s home.

Lippe is a small but passionately created collection of characterful light.

Designer

Behind the Lippe lamps is Liisa – an industrial designer and the founder of the brand.

What fascinates me most in lighting design is how light can completely transform the atmosphere of a space and create a unique ambiance. As a designer, I’m inspired by the interplay of light and shadow, organic forms, and artistic expression. I aim to create lamps that are not only functional, but also visually striking and timeless.

Vision & Design Philosophy

The goal was to create lamps that are more than just sources of light—they're also striking interior elements that speak to their users and complete a space. Behind Lippe lies a vision of timeless design and light that brings spaces to life.

1. Sustainable Design

Modern aesthetics and artistic expression come together in lighting that remains relevant year after year.

2. High-Quality & Durable Materials

All materials are carefully selected with longevity, visual appeal, and sustainability in mind.

3. Light That Sets the Mood

Each lamp is designed to complement different spaces and atmospheres. The final tone and intensity of the light are easy to adjust by changing the bulb—whether you're after a calming evening glow or energizing task lighting, it's up to you.

PLEXIGLAS® Acrylic as a Material

Lippe lighting designs use PLEXIGLAS® acrylic, one of the highest-quality and most responsibly produced acrylic materials on the market. When selecting materials, both aesthetics and durability are prioritized—and PLEXIGLAS® excels in both. It’s an ideal choice for lighting for several reasons:

PLEXIGLAS® is renowned for its outstanding UV stability. It doesn't yellow or become brittle in sunlight, which is why it's used in applications like airplane windows and outdoor structures.

The material is about 10 times more impact-resistant than regular glass while weighing only about half as much. This makes it a practical and safe option for interior design and lighting.


The Satinice version of PLEXIGLAS® diffuses light beautifully and evenly, reducing glare and creating a pleasant, ambient glow. It’s perfect for atmospheric lighting and soft general illumination.


PLEXIGLAS® contains no BPA, phthalates, or heavy metals, making it a safe choice for indoor environments.


PLEXIGLAS® is fully recyclable. The manufacturer, Röhm GmbH, has also developed the Green Line series, which incorporates partially bio-based or recycled raw materials.
