ONE AND ONLY – a limited lighting series by Gie El
In a world where mass production permeates the realm of design, the ONE AND ONLY series is a tribute to the truly unique. Each lamp in this limited category is a one-of-a-kind lighting object — an original composition of color, form, and structure.
Lamps created only once
ONE AND ONLY is a series created for those who seek freedom and individuality in design, and who enjoy surrounding themselves with distinctive details. At Gie El, every lamp is the result of skilled craftsmanship, made by hand according to original designs by the brand’s founders — Maria and Jacek Rypuła. The manual production process means that occasionally, the furnace gives rise to exceptional pieces — those with unexpected pigments, rare colors, or unrepeatable textures. The limited ONE AND ONLY series is made using exactly these kinds of elements. It’s design is haute couture — a tribute to the rare and the extraordinary.
Lighting without repetition
With ONE AND ONLY, we allow ourselves creative freedom. We play, forming compositions using unique glass shades. Shapes and colors are combined intuitively — we create freely, crafting stories that will never be told the same way again.
Functional works of art
Every lamp in the ONE AND ONLY series is a fully functional lighting object — finished with attention to detail and suspended on braided cords chosen to match its individual character. Each composition is carefully defined, but the height of the chandelier, the canopy color, and the ceiling mounting can all be tailored to the interior’s specific needs. We understand how important it is for a lamp to harmonize with a space.
A series that reflects brand’s values
ONE AND ONLY is more than a new series — it’s a manifesto of the brand’s values, where uniqueness is an expression of respect for craftsmanship, artistic courage, and the need for individual expression. Each piece in this collection carries the story of artisan hands and the artistic vision of Gie El’s designers. And above all — it is truly one of a kind. To begin, the ONE AND ONLY category includes fourteen unique pieces. If the new concept is met with enthusiasm, we’ll open the door to more singular creations.
