Carvel

Working on a live client project within degree course, Carvel is a lighting product that was inspired by my research into how human pollution is damaging the earth’s oceanic ecosystems. Working with Jason Bradbury as our lecturer on this project, a passionate and coherent response was achieved, whilst investigating how technology and traditional materials and processes such as ceramics and glass can be combined to produce coherent and striking products. Starting from my own watercolour illustrations of oceanic life forms I have designed a light that reflects the delicate beauty of the Portuguese Man of War rather than the deadly aspect which we are often primarily concerned with. I have also produced 3D rendered images in Sculptris and Keyshot to support the product.
