At Opal, we believe light holds the power to transform how we live, work, and connect. Light is not just illumination — it is energy, rhythm, and connection.
Through light, we cultivate health, create balance, and foster connection. These three pillars shape everything we do.

Meet Gijs
Founder & Designer
My work has always revolved around one question: how can design make life better? During my studies, I discovered that light can do much more than illuminate a space. It can calm the mind, spark creativity, and help us reconnect with ourselves. That realization grew into a passion. Over the years I’ve seen how light influences us on every level. The environments we live and work in shape how we feel, perform and connect with others.

Since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by flight. I admired birds, planes, and rockets -> anything that could rise above the ground. Flying felt like freedom, lightness, and perspective. Maybe because in contrast, life sometimes felt heavy. I noticed it during holidays too: the stress of packing, border control, early mornings… all that pressure. But the moment the plane takes off, when you finally let go of the ground, there’s a shift. You feel light again. Flying became my metaphor for living with ease: you cannot take off unless you let go.
