WHEN DECORATING A HOME, there should always be room for a little playfulness. In fact, the most delightful ideas often arise from the most unexpected places.

One such sweet surprise is the Soft Serve lamp by our newest brand, Créme Atelier. With its name and gently swirling silhouette, the lamp instantly brings to mind carefree summer days and a delicious warm-weather treat: ice cream!

Créme Atelier is a Stockholm-based design studio founded by Jacqueline Kessidis and Lucas Lind. The idea for the brand was born while the duo was renovating their home and searching for the perfect light that would combine sustainable values with a playful aesthetic. When nothing quite met their criteria, there was only one option left: to design the right one themselves.

Oversized Soft Serve floor lamp placed on the floor next to a chair — There’s plenty to choose from in terms of size, too – almost like at a classic ice cream stand! This oversized Soft Serve lamp feels especially at home placed on the floor.

The Soft Serve lighting collection draws inspiration from sweets, pastries, and other delicious treats. With their organic, inviting shapes, the colourful lamps look almost good enough to take a.

The softly swirling lines and the warm glow filtering through the shade are a gentle reminder that elegance and playfulness can, indeed, go hand in hand.

Sustainability lies at the heart of Créme Atelier’s design philosophy. Each lamp is 3D-printed from plant-based, biodegradable materials in a process that takes around six hours.

As each lamp is printed individually, slight variations in surface texture and color may appear – but that only adds to the overall charm. After all, no two ice creams are ever exactly alike
