About the Item

Produced as part of an installation of seventy-five limited edition light sculptures by the celebrated product designer Paul Cocksedge. Each one of these elegant sculptural pieces is unique, numbered and signed by Cocksedge. The 3 unique pieces to go with this base may be selected by the collector, each emitting a soft, blue light. These beautiful lights were borne out of Cocksedge’s experiences with blowing glass; he wondered whether other materials could be blown in a similar manner. With this in mind Cocksedge concentrated his efforts on blowing PVC plastic and the results are extraordinary. Instead of a glass-like texture and form, objects began to appear that looked as though they have been created on a potter’s wheel, but with a super high gloss finish. Each light is unique and that can be attributed to the design process. A machine had to be carefully adapted to heat PVC – as the heated material is blown, long organic shapes emerge; these forms were then cut by Cocksedge so that each piece has an individual form and height. An LED light source is concealed within each sculpture – the light emanates from the inside and only out through the opening at the top, and is programmed to convey the light as ‘breath’ as it very calmly fades from on to off. The breathing of the light as it escapes from the opening of the sculpture relates back to the heart of the concept – blowing air to create form. These pieces can be used as desk lamps or free standing lighting designs therefore allowing the collector to decide upon their own composition. In the base the concealed circuitry holds three settings, on off or ‘breathing’. The 360-degree connector in the base allows each lighting sculpture to be rotated and positioned for precise composition and positioning of a projection on the ceiling.
