Project description:

The pared back elegance of a seashell provides inspiration for the sculptural functionality of the Conus Range. The versatile component based design allows for a variety of finishes whilst maintaining the integrity of the original concept. The Conus Range delivers engaging solutions from directed task lights to ambient mood illumination.
Lighting requirements within domestic and commercial settings were considered. A range of lights with a similar aesthetic, based on a sculptural form, was developed to address specific lighting needs. The range comprises nine lights including desk lamps, a floor lamp and pendant lights.
Local, responsibly sourced timber is used in manufacturing the veneers. A combination of laser cut timber and steel components are held in tension with use of traditional boat building techniques. Each light is hand-finished and assembled using custom-made jigs (based on ‘strong back’ boat building method), ensuring quality and artistic integrity.
