Klara’s Table is a Copenhagen-based studio working between food and design and run by Klara Marie Jespersen. What started as a creative experiment and outlet gradually evolved into a business, and over time Klara's Table grew from a small online project into the studio it is today.
“I think a great table makes people want to stay. Of course, I care about the aesthetics, but the most memorable tables are rarely the most elaborate ones. They're the ones that encourage conversation, curiosity, and a sense of ease.
I like when a table feels generous rather than performative. When people reach across it, share things, move things around and make themselves at home. To me, that's when a table has truly succeeded.”
For Klara, lighting should contribute to a feeling of comfort and atmosphere, not simply illuminate a room.
“When it comes to interiors and table styling, what matters most to me is atmosphere. I think people can feel when something has been chosen with care, and when every element feels like it belongs. And light becomes a very big part of that feeling as it has an enormous impact on how we experience a space and a moment – as well as a table.”
“I often find myself returning to things that have stood the test of time. There's usually a reason they've lasted. And Louis Poulsen is one of those brands for me. Many of the lamps feel deeply familiar - I remember them from my grandparents' home, and from countless places I've loved since.
“I have a connection to almost everything I own, and I'm much more interested in pieces that carry a story or a feeling than in following a particular style. I think there's something quite special about objects that become part of people's lives in that way. They stop being just objects and become part of what home feels like.”
