Niamh Barry, What if Everything is Not Linear?, Light Sculpture, Ireland, 2022
About the Item
Niamh Barry often says that her sculptures are drawings in bronze and light. Inspired by natural beauty, her work transcends utility. She strives, above all else, to achieve striking visual balance, movement, and proportion. Her process is visceral, and allows her instinct to speak. Her pieces are thus experienced similarly—with emotion rather than contemplation alone.
This extraordinary light sculpture furthers an aesthetic language inspired by the famed Broighter Hoard, and initiated with her large-scale commission for the National Bank of Ireland—an elaboration on geometry, palette, and orientation. With this symphony of polished 'vessels' floating in an near-weightless composition, Barry has abandoned her traditionally linear arrangements, and evinced a form of motion heretofore untried, and wonderful to behold in this medium, and at this scale.

- Linear Corrugation Pendant Light '5 Bulbs' in Off-WhiteBy Tino SeubertLocated in London, GBLinear corrugation pendant light (5 bulbs) made from off-white (RAL 9002) painted ash veneered plywood and off-white (RAL 9002) powder-coated aluminium tubes. Created in collaboration with Theodora Alfredsdottir. “Corrugation” is a collection of lights inspired by Midcentury Furniture making, honouring the technique of veneer forming. It consists of a scalable hanging light and wall sconces, which can serve as building blocks to create unique combinations playfully spanning across whole rooms. The collection takes veneer forming as a starting point, a process that requires skilled craftsmanship, which was introduced to the furniture world by design names like Alvar Aalto and the Eames couple, and pairs it with off-the-shelf aluminium tubes. A snug fit where the hard powder-coated metal meets the soft wavy wood...Category
