Earth

Made from the most abundant metal on Earth this uplighter is cast in aluminium to create a sculptural light, inspired by our home planet. Earth’s characteristics have been used to create this form through the use of form-building algorithms. The designer then works with the structure that nature generates to create a functional piece of lighting, collaborating with nature.

The aluminium has been sand cast and remnants of the casting process can be seen on the reflective surface of the piece. The Earth casts a warm light onto the wall, contrasted by the cold, silver tones of the material to create a functional sculpture that stands out when both on and off. Like the planet Venus, the Earth is highly reflective, so the light has been polished to allude to this.
