LIIU

Commissioned by Hollandse Nieuwe Architects, we created nine unique LIIU chandeliers for an Amsterdam office. Each chandelier, part of a cohesive family, tells its own story, guiding visitors through the space. With over 4,000 light components, it’s our largest modular installation, offering distinct yet unified sculptures throughout the building.

LIIU for HOLLANDSE NIEUWE

Is there a more fitting request to showcase the full potential of our LIIU’s modular design? Hollande Nieuwe Architects challenged us to create nine signature LIIU chandeliers for nine key spaces, known as “Stone Henges,” in an Amsterdam office. Each chandelier tells its own unique story, guiding visitors through the complex while maintaining the same DNA and characteristics—belonging to one cohesive family.

These installations provide both cohesion and direction throughout the building. The system allows for entirely distinct sculptures, all crafted from the same foundational elements. This unified design language enables visitors to navigate the space, while still experiencing diversity in each piece.

With over 3,000 individual light components, this project represents our largest LIIU installation to date.

VISUALIZING VISIONS

OUR TOOL COMPATIBLE TO VISUALIZE IN CAD DRAWING

Our tool allows us to create models that can be easily integrated into CAD drawings for real-time rendering. This means you’ll know exactly what to expect— Can you tell the difference between what’s real and what’s a render?

PURCHASE

Liiu at home

The Liiu system can take on any scale and form. It is designed to create grand architectural expressions, while also offering a more modest configuration suitable for homes.

> PROJECT

Kazerne

“Home is Where the Heart Is” is we called the piece. To pay homage to our beloved Eindhoven It will lie at the heart of the exhibitions showed at Kazerne – the design platform in central Eindhoven that since 2014 has provided a collaborative ecosystem to both support and shape the evolution of Dutch design.

With our own tool in Blender we are able to create all kind of proposals.
