Introducing the Asteea Collection by Nuura: Where Nature Meets Innovation
When it comes to decorating, and luxury in the home, it truly is a personal journey. Luxury means different things to different people. For some, it’s the sophistication of a gourmet kitchen and for others it’s the elegance of a spa-like bathroom. For us here at YCB, adding a touch of luxury to your home is very much about the right lighting. We find that decorating (and layering) your home with timeless, elegant pieces that each have their own personalised statement design will add such a lovely luxury touch to any space. And it’s safe to say that one of our go to brands for scoring the perfect balance with luxury lighting is Nuura.
When it comes to luxury, there are certain designs that have come to symbolise a way of living that’s considered lavish and, yes, generally expensive. With collections that are minimalistic and elegant, gorgeous materials and soothing colours, Nuura is leading the way for top quality lighting. And perhaps something we love the most about the Scandinavian brand is how each of their pieces stand the test of time, with the kind of timeless designs that never will go out of style.
Founded in 2017 with a vision to create sensuous lighting designs that enhances ambiance and transform spaces, Nuura means light and honour. The name beautifully reflects a commitment to honouring light as an essential element of life and a foundation of well-being. Rooted in Danish design traditions and inspired by nature, Nuura creates versatile lighting collections for both private and public spaces. The brand’s essence lies in a modern reinterpretation of the chandelier, symbolizing generosity and abundance. Cherishing the art of connection, Nuura stands as a global lighting brand, collaborating with some of the world’s most esteemed designers.
Now, the luxury brand has announced their beautiful new Asteea collection in collaboration with Sofie Refer, an award-winning Danish lighting designer, deeply rooted in the Scandinavian design tradition, and we are swooning over every single piece. With its delicate, flower-inspired silhouette and integrated LED technology, the new Asteea collection is where nature meets innovation, capturing the essence of the luscious outdoors providing a soft, indirect lighting.
Just in line with the vision behind the new range, Sofie values simplicity and nature’s beauty, core qualities in her lighting designs. With esteem for the tradition, Sofie likes to challenge its conventions, approaching her designs with a curiosity to explore the richness, generosity, and extravagance found in nature, and reflecting these qualities in her lighting creations.
”I am truly inspired by the unique light in the Nordic. I strive to balance simplicity with grandeur, creating lighting that embodies both purity and a sensuous expression.”, says Sofie Refer.
Drawing inspiration from the soft curves and layered structure of blossoms, we love Asteea’s bell-shaped shades features- natural, flowing striations that create a lively interplay of light and shadow. The result is a design that truly feels sensuous, adding depth and warmth to your home – much like flower buds gently diffusing sunlight.
Crafted from recyclable acrylic, the shades highlight the collection’s airy character – both in physical weight and visual presence. The integrated LED technology emits a soft, indirect glow that illuminates without glare, reinforcing the design’s calm and organic expression.
Blending lighting technology with a poetic, nature-driven design language, the Asteea collection offers an elegant and contemporary lighting solution – one that balances functionality with atmosphere.
Asteea’s gently curved arms in brushed golden brass introduce a timeless elegance and enhance the overall reflection and warmth of the light. The fluid, sculptural form underscores the collection’s botanical inspiration, while its refined details offer a sense of modern sophistication.
From its Copenhagen headquarters, Nuura strives to create aesthetic, timeless lighting solutions that enriches life and brings value to daily living. Guided by the belief that light is a vital source of well-being, Nuura creates timeless lighting designed to last for generations.
