This wise and mysterious table lamp is a member of our LightBEAM collection and nurtures a secret cradled in its oak wood shell. By turning its brass handle, a bewitching array of fragmented light spills out as the clam shell slowly opens, revealing a multitude of light-refracting coloured glass pebbles glowing in its midst.

Background

For a while now we have been playing around with the idea of encasing a light in some sort of solid container, and opening it very slowly so that glimmers of light are visible through the widening gap, throwing shafts of light into the surroundings. This slow revealing gives a sense of something more inside, like another world, or something precious or alive, and creates a sense of anticipation and a desire to know more. So we took this notion and combined it with the telescoping circular beam structure from the Crane lamp, and added an upward pointing light source in the lower shell which shines through glass marbles or pebbles, giving a sense of energy and life to this inner space. We also made a hand-beaten copper reflector for the top shell which reflects the light back and forth, mixing it up and giving additional tones, and projects light into the room as the clamshell is opened up wider. Throughout its development we have found it to have a dual personality, wavering between a mechanical clamshell and a wise old frog. We are very happy that it still exhibits this duality! We are very pleased with the way this has all come together and we feel we have created a table lamp with an unusual beauty and intriguing allure.

Description

The LED light source is contained in the lower oak wood clam shell and covered with coloured glass pebbles. The upper wooden clamshell acts like a lid and can be raised by turning the mechanical brass handle mounted at the top of the lamp which engages a rack gear and moves the front section of the telescoping frame. Each position of the upper shell produces its own unique lighting effect and geometry and we hope that people will enjoy adjusting the lamp for different times of day, for different occasions or just for the fun of it. The lamp is turned on and off by toggling the stainless steel push button on the dressed concrete base. The main structure is made from aluminium that has been hard-anodised to produce a beautiful, robust and industrial finish.

This garden design Cheshire was a blank canvas new-build garden with fence to fence mud!. We knew we needed to add interest into the design and create defined areas for the family to enjoy. The final garden design incorporates warm, natural tones from cream coloured porcelain tiles, clay pavers and deep auburn hardwood. The design also includes a central reflection pool water feature leading to the main dining area, built in seating where the clients can relax and a extensive lighting system which brings atmosphere to the evening space. The tones and textures of the planting design complement the hard landscaping as well as providing screening between the sections of the garden.
