The name Oblure is a union between the words “Object” and “Allure”. The concept lays in the core of the brand in order to design and create alluring objects. Oblure was founded in 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden with the desire to bring new innovative products in the field of lighting. With our skills and roots that are cemented in the Scandinavian design tradition we endorse the simplicity, the minimalistic, and the functional but it does not end there. In the spirit of creativity, we want to add furthermore. For us a lamp is so much more than just light, it’s a piece of art. We therefore collaborate with international designers with our focus on creating a collection of products that shine a distinguishable character and celebrates innovative elements that not just surprise but also intrigue the beholder. Our vision is to curate the original, the bold and the beautiful.
Oblure is run by Deniz Canpinar and Markus Johansson, two enthusiastic guys with different backgrounds, but sharing both passion and knowledge for lighting, design, function, and technology.
Markus is the founder and Art Director of Oblure. His interest in design was awaken at an early age, growing up in his great grandfather’s furniture factory Albin i Hyssna (just outside of Gothenburg), a well-respected company run by the family for generations. He holds a Master’s degree in Design from the Academy of Art and Design in Gothenburg and has exhibited as a Young Designer in Milano for four years in a row, and also in Paris, London, New York and Stockholm.
Markus started his own design studio in 2011 and has worked with a wide range of different companies, such as Le-Klint, Karl Andersson & Söner, Mogg, Garden Glory, Tekhne, Hans K and Albin i Hyssna. His designs include chairs, tables, interior and exterior accessories, and of course lighting fixture, being the most successful ones the lighting family Carronade for the Danish company Le-Klint, and the ZigZag chair for the Swedish company Hans K. Markus’ first design for Oblure is the Cirrata lamp, his degree project which has gained both attention and recognition.
Being a true lover of form, design and technological innovation, Markus strives to find inspiration from a variety of environments, stretching from the human to the artefact, through analyses and processes. His vision is to combine construction, function and form to enrich the everyday experience. A chair designed by Markus can even be found at the Museum of Art and Design in New York!
Deniz is the CEO of Oblure. He has been interested in lighting, form and function for as long as he can remember. Deniz grew up in an entrepreneurial family in the restaurant business and ran his own business for a decade before his passion for lighting made him switch business. After studying electrical engineering as well as lighting technology and design, Deniz worked as a consultant within interior as well as exterior lighting for private and contract projects for Europe’s greatest lighting design companies, Light Bureau.
Before he became co-owner of Oblure, he was also sales manager for the westside region at the well-known Italian lighting company iGuzzini Illuminazione in Sweden.
Deniz also holds a position of trust as Chairman of the Board for the Swedish West Coast Lighting Society, part of The Swedish Lighting Society.
