Resilient Design
Asger Risborg
Asger Risborg Jakobsen approaches design through the lens of purpose and utility. The Danish designer merges his architectural background with medical expertise, creating lighting solutions that are both functionally intelligent and atmospherically compelling. "Light captivates me," he explains. "It's simultaneously a practical necessity and an aesthetic language." His work evolves from close observation of natural phenomena, guided by principles of longevity and enduring quality. The Hill pendant exemplifies this philosophy: it reimagines the delicate elegance of traditional Japanese rice paper lamps in durable Tyvek—a marriage of heritage and resilience. Its generous proportions diffuse soft, even light throughout meeting spaces, lounges, and dining areas while remaining visually restrained. For interior designers, Hill presents a refined Japandi aesthetic that pairs timeless sophistication with robust materiality—a modern solution that enhances without overwhelming.
