Sculptural desk lamps that play with gravity and a bit of simple rocking chair science. This family of desk lamps are designed to allow you to roll them forward or backward as a way of extending or retracting the light.

My work draws on architecture, machines, and natural forms to produce unique lamps and clocks that combine a strong mechanical or structural aesthetic and a playful character.

I hand-engineer sculptural lamps and clocks with a mechanical aesthetic that bring together ideas taken from our natural and our industrial worlds.

All my work is designed to encourage interaction and introduce a sense of play into everyday activities; for example a kinetic element or simple mechanism to adjust the piece or to set it in motion.

The overall aesthetic draws on the beauty of industrial materials and the charm of simple machine assemblies, made using materials with a strong practical and decorative heritage.

Components are “over-engineered” to give an air of indestructible vulnerability and ensure they will last for generations.
