#myartcoustic with Celeste Lønstrup | Celeste Vin
A #myartcoustic delivers an insight into the world of Artcoustic from the eyes and thoughts of a loyal client. By inviting our reader into a cosy conversation about life and work, what moves and excites you, and how you define the importance of sound in your everyday life, the reader gets an understanding of why Artcoustic is the preferred loudspeaker brand.
Sound can alter our emotional perceptions, what was passive and bland becomes welcoming and personal the second music or movie is turned on – the right sounds and sound quality can immediately transform a space into a warm embrace of familiarity and comfort.
Artcoustic: Please tell us about your professional background.
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: When I was 18 years old, I moved from Copenhagen to Piemonte. By coincidence, I became friends with an amazing Italian family; the owners of two historical and internationally recognised wineries. They offered me to stay with them and learn about wine production. I knew absolutely nothing about wine back then – I had never even tasted wine, only beers. They took me in as family and taught me about sustainable wine production, the work in the vineyards and in the wine cellar.
Today I work as a wine importer in Copenhagen. I started my company ‘Celeste Vin’ in 2020, focusing exclusively on importing high-quality wines from Piemonte. We are located at Langelinie Allé in Copenhagen and distribute our wines to Danish restaurants, companies and private wine enthusiasts. We also host a lot of wine tastings as well – that’s one of my favourite things to do.
Artcoustic: What is “quality of life” to you?
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: For me, quality of life is being able to develop and grow. Both in my work and in my personal life. Having time to immerse myself, having strong and meaningful relationships. Especially with my family. And then I love food! Every day I’m thinking about the next meal, always striving to treat myself a little. Quality of life is also playing tennis with my father, every Friday. The list is long!
Artcoustic: What moves you and makes you happy in your everyday life?
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: My fiancé and my family make me happy every day. Especially my fiancé who makes me laugh daily. It sounds cheesy, but after a long or turbulent day, it can completely relieve the stress. He has a gift to always make me see life in a light-hearted way. It’s quite difficult to boil down what moves me since a lot of things do; the nature, God, timing, love, and relationships. Everything around Celeste Vin often moves me. My work life is primarily based on important relations as well; with my colleagues, business partners, and the wine-grower families we work with and our clients. The incredible support in the company has moved me to tears many times.
Artcoustic: Where, when and from what do you feel most inspired?
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: I feel very inspired when I’m in Piemonte, surrounded by the wine producers, their family, and the vineyards. It fills my soul and somehow it always encourages me to do better. I also feel inspired when I’m alone with the opportunity to completely recharge. No phone, no talking, no appointments. By myself-and even better if in nature.
Artcoustic: Sound sets the mood of any room. Artcoustic delivers high-quality and clarity, to better the listening experience and atmosphere of your space. How is music or sound utilised in your private and/or work life? How does it move you?
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: Sound in general is quite sensitive for me. I choose carefully what I listen to and strive to find the perfect music match, according to my mood and setting. I especially love to listen to music after work at home, or in the car by myself so I can sing along. I’m a very bad singer, so it’s best when I’m alone.
Artcoustic: Pass it on – your Artcoustic speaker is a lifetime investment which can be passed on for generations due to its high-end handmade quality and endless design possibilities. What does this mean to you?
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: I always appreciate a sustainable solution, so it means a lot. I love that I can use the speakers for many different occasions – at work, hosting wine tastings and for bigger events. Our location has a big terrace with ocean view and open sky, where we host a lot of events outside during the summer, and in this case the speakers are great.
Artcoustic: Are you aware that you have complete design versatility with Artcoustic, meaning you can choose any colour you wish. Was this of any importance to you?
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: I love that I’m able to customise the speaker and match it to our own colours and furniture.
Artcoustic: How important is music/sound in your life and how is this shown?
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: I appreciate music every day and it gives me a space where I can feel many different emotions.
Artcoustic: What made you choose Artcoustic?
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: The craftsmanship, the quality of the sound and the beautiful visual design.
Artcoustic: What’s on your favourite play/movie list today?
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: I listen to a lot of different music, but the last five songs I listened to today are:
That’s How The Good Lord Work with Sunday Service Choir
Rise with Herb Alpert
Vita Spericolata with Vasco Rossi
Everybody Wants to Rule the World with Tears for Fears
Loui Loui with Kathrine Brøndsted – a song my aunt made for my fiancé. I listen to it all the time :)
Artcoustic: Artcoustic’s main purpose is to create an honest and comfortable acoustic atmosphere, ambience and clarity to any space, and offer design versatility and high-end performance. Do you feel Artcoustic delivers this experience or feeling? How?
Celeste Karoline Lønstrup: Artcoustic’s possibility to customise the colours of every speaker is unique. The designs are beautiful, versatile, and can integrate into any interior.
