Alexander Lervik is fascinated by light in all its forms, not surprising given that he lives in a country where darkness dominates much of the year. Three years after graduating from Beckman's School of Design, he presents Bright Handle, a door handle that glows an idle green or a busy red. The Sense Light Swing fiber-optic light-up swing is equally playful and at the same time self-evident. With Rainbow, he builds a lampshade of 300 tiny LED lights integrated into the shade, while LED Light Bulb brings a new expression to the traditional incandescent bulb shape in the form of a small LED-lit 3D-printed ballerina inside. Experimentally exploring constantly on the border between the artistic and the commercial, AlexanderLervik has in both lighting and furniture design pushed the boundaries of what is possible.

His light creations, the most extreme of which is MyBrain, a lamp 3D-printed from an MRI of his own brain, are represented at the National Museum in Stockholm, the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg and several other places. Colour is a strong design element in all his designs, and by creating a new lighting company he wants to bring colour to an overly conservative lighting industry.

'Surely we can be more playful in Scandinavian design and surely we need more colour in the design industry around the world! I am fully convinced that my artistic experiments make my commercial products even better.'
