The Piano and the Greenhouse

– We have a greenhouse in our garden

Not so much a greenhouse, more a retirement home for a well travelled, much used, Ukranian upright piano which turned up with a baggage of musical memories.

The dilapidated glass shell is a shelter, of sorts, to two more guests, in the form of grapevines. The piano came here to rest and the vines to bear fruit. We have a mutual understanding; we do not interfere with their existence and they do not demand any unnecessary care or special treatment. As such, the piano has settled down to a carefree life in the company of the vines.

This passive symbiosis will probably continue until one of the deciding factors alters. The vines die, the piano or the greenhouse collapses, or we move away.

Shadow play

Shadow play is an ancient form of storytelling
yet to us it's a form of artistic enhancement
born from the mesmerising
connection between a source of light
and the object itself.
The powerful yet insignificant shapes
produced by a body coming between rays of light
and a surface creates the magic in the image.
The shadows miss interpreted reference as
proximity, ominous oppressiveness is to us the contrary,
– soft, understated and beautiful

Our Walls, Your Imagination

At Valvet in the heart of Old Gothenburg, placed in Radheska huset since 1669, the vaulted ceiling and original stone floor creates an astonishing backdrop for photographic shoots. The space lends itself as a blank canvas to use for photographic shoots.

Oblure

The name Oblure is a union between the words object and allure, which is the core of the brand – to make alluring objects. Oblure was founded in Gothenburg, Sweden with the desire to make innovative products that add something new to the field of lighting. With our roots in the Scandinavian design tradition we love the simplistic, minimalistic and functional – but we wanted something more. Therefore, we work with international designers with the aim to build a collection with a lot of character and innovative elements that surprise and intrigue the beholder. Our vision is to curate the original, bold and beautiful.
