Oblure was founded in 2017 with the vision “to create original, bold and alluring objects,” and the mission “to create innovative, unique and qualitative lighting fixtures for residential and public spaces.” The name combines “object” and “lure,” capturing the brand’s essence—designing objects that captivate.

The journey began with Cirrata, Markus Johansson’s 2011 thesis project, which later became Oblure’s cornerstone product. At their launch at “Maison et Objet” in Paris, Cirrata was showcased alongside prototypes, including one that evolved into the fixture Balance.

A few years after launch, Deniz Canpinar then joined Oblure as the second owner. Deniz Canpinar and Markus Johansson run the company with a shared passion for lighting, design and functionality. With a united goal to craft each product with the same mindset: for it to last. Through a robust and well-thought-out process each product is crafted with care, to ensure it’s lasting sustainability. While production spans the globe to ensure the highest quality for the right price, Oblure’s future focus remains rooted in its Swedish origins.

Today the company’s products are sold worldwide and have gained traction through different nominees and prizes. In 2023 they won “Lighting of the Year” by FORM Magazine for their fixture Lightbone. In addition to these awards Oblure has made collaborations with well known companies such as Cassina and Minotti. As the journey unfolds, Oblure remains committed to illuminating spaces with its blend of elegance, innovation, and allure.
