Liila by Nuura – Scandinavian Wall and Ceiling Lights Inspired by the Beauty of Sunlight

Natural light has always been one of the greatest sources of inspiration for Scandinavian design. With the Liila collection, Danish lighting brand Nuura transforms the reflections, movement and subtle nuances of sunlight into elegant architectural lighting. Designed by renowned Danish designer Sofie Refer, Liila combines mouth-blown glass with clean, minimalist lines to create wall lights, ceiling lights and sculptural lighting compositions that enhance both contemporary homes and prestigious architectural projects.

A collection inspired by the many facets of sunlight

A collection inspired by the many facets of sunlight

Designed by Sofie Refer, the Liila collection draws its inspiration directly from the ever-changing beauty of natural light.

Throughout the day, sunlight transforms our perception of a space through its reflections, shadows and delicate variations. Liila captures this poetic quality with mouth-blown glass globes that diffuse a soft, welcoming glow while bringing elegance and serenity to every interior.

Minimalist yet sophisticated, the collection perfectly embodies the values of Scandinavian design: simplicity, balance and timeless beauty.

Sofie Refer – designing light that evokes emotion

Sofie Refer – designing light that evokes emotion

Internationally acclaimed Danish designer Sofie Refer creates lighting that goes far beyond simple functionality.

Inspired by Nordic landscapes and Scandinavian design traditions, she considers light an essential element of everyday well-being. Her work combines exceptional craftsmanship with refined aesthetics and emotional lighting experiences.

With Liila, she has created a contemporary lighting collection where each glass globe appears to capture the movement and beauty of natural sunlight.

The elegance of mouth-blown glass

The elegance of mouth-blown glass

Every Liila luminaire features a mouth-blown glass globe, one of Nuura’s signature design elements.

Depending on the model, two types of glass are available:

  • Opal glass, producing a soft, uniform and comfortable glow;
  • Optical glass, whose textured surface captures and reflects light like sunlight dancing across water.

These subtle differences create ever-changing visual effects, making each luminaire a decorative object that evolves throughout the day.

Sculptural wall lights and ceiling lights

Sculptural wall lights and ceiling lights

The Liila collection extends far beyond a traditional wall light.

It includes:

  • individual wall lights;
  • decorative ceiling lights;
  • wall-mounted lighting compositions;
  • ceiling installations;
  • multi-globe sculptural arrangements.

Models such as Liila 7, Liila 12 and Liila Star become true illuminated sculptures, transforming walls and ceilings into elegant architectural features.

Their airy compositions bring rhythm and character to a space while maintaining an exceptional sense of visual lightness.

Liila Muuse – an elegant play of light and shadow

The Liila Muuse series introduces an additional artistic dimension to the collection.

Each luminaire features a beautifully ribbed backplate that enhances the lighting effect around the glass globe.

When illuminated, the textured surface creates refined patterns of light and shadow reminiscent of the rays of the sun.

This subtle detail transforms every wall light into both a lighting fixture and a decorative work of art.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor spaces

The Liila collection also includes several models specifically developed for outdoor use.

These exterior wall lights preserve the iconic elegance of the collection while offering the durability required for outdoor environments.

Installed on façades, terraces or entrance areas, they extend Nuura’s Scandinavian design language beyond the interior and create beautifully welcoming outdoor spaces.

Endless possibilities for custom lighting compositions

One of Liila’s greatest strengths is its flexibility.

A single wall light creates an elegant decorative accent.

Grouped in pairs or larger configurations such as seven or twelve globes, Liila can be transformed into spectacular lighting installations for private homes, hotels, restaurants, boutiques and architectural projects.

Every composition can be tailored to the scale and character of the surrounding architecture.
