documentary film evolving around the lives and relations of the 4
LêLê siblings. In collaboration with DR, Säll
embarked on a 3 year journey from Copenhagen to Saigon, filming and
interviewing the LêLê family. The final
project; 'De jyske vietnamesere' aired on Danish
television channel DR2 on August 17th 2008.

the different pieces of art work found at

Furthermore Son Lê has been responsible for creating the
unique design that enhances the special atmosphere and ambiance at
LêLê. Son Lê - a graphic designer by trade - has
combined his design studies with an innate talent for painting and
sculpturing. All original art works found at LêLê has
been on demand for exhibitions in a variety of different gallerys
ranging from New York to Saigon, to Copenhagen.
Olga Reilly has undergone master studies in the ancient craft of
fresco painting in Venice. She too has combined this with an
inherent artistic talent to create the décor in
LêLê's Tiger Bar. Olga currently resides in Copenhagen
but travels frequently to continue her work that can already be
found at venues in Tokyo, Los angeles and New York to name but a
few.
