With the Lolita light for the design brand Moooi, she achieved a big breakthrough and Zupanc became internationally famous. Next to the Lolita light that can be understood as a reflection on a woman archetype, the Slovenian also conceived a range of furniture, accessories and light fixtures for famous clients. Nika Zupanc is also famous for her conceptual installations and the limited editions she designs in collaborations with high-class luxury brands and that are exhibited in the whole world. The designer also contributes to diverse furnishing projects with her own brand Nika Zupanc.
Design magazines, observing her works and exhibitions, labelled them as "punk elegance" (Elle USA) and "techno chic" (BusinessWeek). Beside their outstanding manufacturing quality, her products are also loaded with emotions and exude a sense of theater and film noir. Her formal language expresses the innermost and wants to tell the user or observer what cannot be said.
