Can Lis Inspirations Realized by Ferm Living
Jørn Utzon is most recognized as the designer of the Sydney Opera House. This Mid-Century masterpiece is truly a timeless homage to the man’s genius and skill. But there’s another place, Utzon’s home in Mallorca—Can Lis—that stands as a direct expression of his legacy. Finally, after decades, Can Lis inspirations are realized by Ferm Living with the Can Lis collections.
Jørn Utzon & Can Lis Inspirations
For decades, Utzon beautified the world with buildings that feel as though they belong and always have, rooted deeply in the very dirt they stand on. His work is a profound dialogue between surroundings, integrating local craftsmanship, context, and cultural heritage into the foundations and outward expression of each façade.
Can Lis Realized by Ferm Living
For the collections inspired by Can Lis, Ferm Living visited the meditative escape. The team pinpointed the spirit of the home, choosing various elements to recreate in the form of toys, stoneware, décor and furniture.
Located on the coastline of Mallorca, the Can Lis home unfolds gradually for the guest; slowly guiding you into its courtyards, through its pavilions, along its sun-dappled corridors, and directly into the heart of its cloistered tranquility.
Every corner of Jørn Utzon’s personal retreat reflects his academic and bold approach to architecture. This signature of Utzon’s design principles is in most of his work, but Can Lis has a different love to it—it’s named after his wife, Lis.
Balancing, layering, and blending local aesthetics with a Scandinavian sensibility, the design of Can Lis is a grounded, rustic, timeless marriage of three inspirations and a testament to a life lived intentionally.
