Patera was born of my fascination with the Fibonacci sequence. You can find the spiral pattern wherever you look in nature – in the seed formation in sunflowers and pine cones, for example – and it has previously inspired Leonardo da Vinci, Johan Sebastian Bach and many other great artists from history.
“Patera is intended to serve as a modern chandelier – a light that unifies the space and makes any room a more human place to spend time in.” The ball-shaped pendant floats like a majestic focal point in the room, spreading light in all directions. At first glance, it seems to be just a white, perforated ball, but closer inspection reveals its detailed design featuring a host of circles, angles and holes.
How people actually perceive light was a key consideration in the design of the new model, which arose from a close working relationship with Louis Poulsen. Poul Henningsen – who worked with Louis Poulsen to create a range of design icons including the famous PH Artichoke and the three-shade lights – was my mentor in absentia.
Patera emits a soft, pleasant light, whose secret lies in its intricate design: the light consists of a variety of differently positioned cells, which ensure that the correct angles are applied to the visor lines of the light and guard against all unpleasant glare. At the same time, the structure staggers the visual centre of Patera, consistently providing new impressions of the light when viewed from different angles.
The pleasant light emitted by Patera suits a variety of contexts: everything from dining table settings, halls and entrances, to reception areas and meeting rooms. Patera illuminates people around it in a credible, natural light, without generating inappropriate shadows on their faces. Stylistically, the light is simultaneously simple and refined, which means that it blends seamlessly into most interior design set-ups, modern and classical alike.
Patera is available in a diameter of 600 mm, and is made of white synthetic material. The entire assembly process is carried out by hand. Patera is light and airy, making it simple to install in a great many settings. Patera is supplied with an E27/E26 fitting, which allows the use of a variety of light sources, including LED. The light is also available with an integrated LED solution.
Modular lamp
Putting people in boxes doesn’t make you know who they really are. To help organize your drawers, MUJI has created a modular system of partitions, originally designed to serve unseen in the shadows. With “Out of the closet” it’s time to come out of the darkness and in to the light.
It’s time to shine!

All though the PATERA SILVER was launched in 2018, the design was made before the white version that came already in 2015. At that time how ever the silver foil material wasn’t ready but now it’s here , turning any living room in to a ballroom as a modern take on the classic chandelier, bringing a glowing focal point and soft, dynamic illumination to contemporary spaces.
While classic in its form and Danish design principles, the silver Patera takes a bold step away from minimalism. Its reflective profile instantly catches the eye whether or not the lamp is lit, becoming an irresistible focal point and an essential part of the room’s ambiance. The silver Patera is ideally suited for spaces unafraid to stand out, make a statement, and show off their personality – in a hip hotel, the newest concept restaurant, an innovative concert hall, offices and conference spaces that reject generic décor, or residential spaces that embrace dramatic and unexpected style.

Even though the A9 has a clean and simple look, there is a strict grid under the skin. The whole-pattern under the speaker fabric is based on the Fibonacci-numbers and the perforation on the rear side is arranged in a rhythmical circular pattern.

SWIRL was designed with the intention to guaranty as much and good light as possible while preventing unpleasant glare from the light source.
Available in several models and sizes.
It is inspired by the Fibonacci numbers, the work of legendary Danish designer Poul Henningsen and a snail shell. The snail shell fascinates me as nothing else. It's shape is so pure and honest, mathematical, efficient and very strong for its minimal weight. Every detail has its reason. Somehow it has a poetry which I can't explain but try to achieve in all my designs.
As Le Klint has demonstrated for decades, lamps are sculptures that give identity and atmosphere to the home. The SINUS lamp, designed by Poul Christiansen, is a good example of this; beside lighting up the room, it becomes the center of the room, an object where you find the same peace as when glaring in to a fireplace
The SWIRL lamp has an advanced geometry that covers the lightbulb from ALL angles while it reflects the light downwards. The thin shades ensure translucence as we know it from all the other classical Le Klint lamps. This combination creates a comfortable light and gives smooth, soft shadows while a minimum of the light from the lightbulb is getting lost.
GIANT DIAMONDS,among the biggest and most exclusive lamps on the market.
Originally designed for the biggest music event ever hold in the Kingdom of Denmark, Eurovision Song Contest, this huge lamps are now available for lighting enthusiasts with exceptionally much space. The lamps can be customized for any room, handmade in Denmark and assembled on location.

While the nature of music is immaterial, new media are making music more accessible than ever before. At the same time value and status of music is changning from being a precious and rare moment of full focus to something used as a background carpet; everyone hears it but only a few are listening.
With the vinyl album YDUN I tried to give the music from my brother and cellist Jonathan Slaatto and jazz-pianist Carsten Dahl all the respect and attention it deserves.
YDUN are 11 improvisations served as a tactile experience. The vinyl YDUN is pressed in white vinyl with black spots in unique patterns, made by physics and coincidents; impossible to predict - non of the vinyls look but sound the same. No labels, all information are moulded in to the vinyl. On the front page of the white cover, a circular wooden piece is quoting the craftsmanship and history of the cello while the unpredictable patterns of the wooden nature reminds us on the always surprising nature of music.
A new series of chairs in modular design – with focus on using as few elements as much and for as long as possible – in exciting combinations. A chair that is easy to disassemble, so the parts can be recycled and reused for the benefit of the customer and the environment. The chair is created under the aspect of unique design, longevity and minimal transport costs due to the chairs stacking ability. The design is based on circular economy: all elements of the chair can be returned to Magnus Olesen and upgraded. The chair consists of three parts – seat, back and frame – elegantly combined with just one screw. The Ø-Chair is a sustainable chair that offers endless combination options, even when replacing individual parts over time.
