GLJV is a collaboration between designers Geke Lensink and Jesse Visser. Both are independent and self-employed but reinforce and support each other in designing furniture, interiors and exhibitions. From this collaboration is a port folio emerged supplemented with individual designs. The designs of Geke Lensink and Jesse Visser are recognizable by their clean lines and details. However, the materials and the combination of materials within the collection confuse the viewer. Each object invites to be touched to know for sure. “It is incredibly interesting using today’s knowledge to start at the beginning again rather than continuing to evolve.” (Geke Lensink) “form, function and materials are all dedicated to stimulating the senses.” (Jesse Visser)

SPHAERA design by material
Jesse Visser aluminium
Sphaera is a round aluminium table that responds to the experience of the user by her subtle shell shape. The table becomes constructive because of the 6 mm thick curved steel. The fine detail of the removable legs conveys a simplicity and ensures that the table is always stable. The products on the table all point to a center and thereby stimulate perception. The functionality is preserved but the experience is enhanced.
