London Design Festival 2008 other lighting inspirations



www.4design.co.uk Birch ply ,laser cut floor lamps based on the pattern on the trunks of silver birch trees . They also supply pendant lamps and are designed and made by Michael Radford in Derbyshire.














Jericho Hands lighting




A refreshing change from the slick corporate stalls was a wonderful Bedouin inspired tent by Jericho Hands with a range of lights using culled squirrels and pigeons (created with the help of a taxidermist) sounds awful and was beautiful.




A single pigeon costs £300 a flock is negotiable!

Other inspirations were a cross-stitch embroidered perspex screen.
In retrospect this was an interesting concept and would perhaps work well in a hospital setting or an office block entrance but it is not a material I would want to use for my own work.
