Great design. Very simple and beatiful. I liked the material diversity.

great material choice. I like them. They might not work when it comes to practicality. Low light source, no adjustabilty (or to heavy) its certainly a nice luminiare, and decorational it is,…

I commend the designer on his prolific output for the London Design Festival. However, it seems these and the lampshades are somewhat lacking in original content. As pointed out above, these have a ‘very similar spirit to desklamp by Ilse Crawford’ . I question whether this is spirit or more-so that these, the lampshades and the chair are derivative of other projects. The over-riding feature of all 3 pieces is that the designer is driven by an application of current and borrowed styles rather than experimenting and finding their own feet. I commend the output but these projects feel like they came from a mood board of other projects published in the last 18 months.

Beautiful. I’ve been searching for years for a desk lamp that could be used in a grisly murder and then simply be wiped clean afterwards.

looks really nice, and i bet it’s a really nice weight to hold and move around as well. not so keen on the white version (is it just painted?), the concrete against the timber works really nicely.

it would also be nice to know more about the casting process if anyone has any links…..

great material combination… really raw and beautiful! love how the 2 very different materials (concrete and wood) seems to become the same smooth and lovely character here! great work!
