Where small thoughts are expanded into big gestures: Grietje Schepers creates large scale light installations for spaces in need of acoustic treatment.
Ellipt — a range of fantastical light installations — establishes a relationship with the space it inhabits. The light installation alters the sensory perception of a space and invites viewers to perceive the space differently. The geometrically intricate shapes are paired with an uplifting color palette, thereby enhancing any space with a mesmerizing pattern of light.

After many experiments in paper, Schepers developed the 3D shapes from a flat surface with minimum use of material and without any cutting waste. The series is made with 100% discarded textile felt (by Wolkat). By attributing an industrial cutting technique the sheets of felt become wonderous 3D shapes.
In addition to Ellipt’s visual appeal, the choice for felt makes the installations durable and the material and open shape give the objects sound-dampening qualities. As such, the installations are ideal for large spaces that need acoustic treatment.
