INGRID ROOS

Ingrid Roos is an artist and designer who creates lighting fixtures, minimal light art objects, and installations that are characterized by their simplicity and elegance. Her work resides at the intersection of art and design, drawing profound inspiration from the ever-changing qualities of daylight.

Ingrid’s passion for light is at the heart of her creative journey. She is captivated by the way light transforms spaces, how it shifts in color and intensity, and how it patiently waits to unveil striking shadow patterns on surfaces. These moments of light reveal the inherent beauty and wonder of daylight, allowing Ingrid to fully immerse herself in the present and to design with a deep appreciation for the ephemeral effects that light brings to life.

In her work, Ingrid uses both natural and artificial light as her primary visual mediums. By combining these with transparent materials, she creates objects that engage in a dynamic dialogue with their surroundings, producing captivating effects such as shadows, color mixing, and reflections. Regardless of the form light takes, her concept centers on exploring its effects—shaped by the nature of the object—to reveal light and shadow as materials that are never fully realized, but always evolving. This endless source of inspiration fuels her desire to continually challenge herself and push the boundaries of her designs.

Light shapes spaces and surfaces, revealing patterns, reflections, and the beauty of transience.

Her minimal objects engage with their surroundings, making light itself a living material.

  • "I am deeply passionate about light. It's fascinating to observe how colors shift and how light creates unique atmospheres. Walls patiently await the perfect moment to reveal striking shadow patterns. These observations continually remind me of the beauty and wonder of daylight, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the present while designing with light and exploring its myriad effects."

  • "I use natural and artificial light as visual mediums, often in combination with transparent materials. This approach allows the objects I create to form new and dynamic relationships with their surroundings, producing effects like shadows, color mixing, and reflection. Regardless of the light source, my work centers on exploring how light interacts with the nature of the object, revealing light and shadow as materials in constant flux. This endless source of inspiration fuels my creative process and drives me to push the boundaries of my designs."

  • "I am currently designing a floor lamp that I believe will be a valuable addition to my collection. Alongside this, I am translating the colors of light into a series of artworks, further exploring the interplay of light and color."

  • "My dream is to design a lamp that achieves the status of a design classic and to collaborate with a brand, bringing my vision of light to a broader audience."
