The folds of a beautiful dress, chronicled in a fashion magazine, gave us pause for inspiration. A couture underskirt, where the twirls and folds of the petticoat created a poetic drapery became the beginning of an important design; the Anders light.
We struggled to realise our ambitions, until we walked into a master milliner’s studio. The application of skills, from this seemingly unrelated craft, gave form and purpose to our light.
Made from abaca fibre, a traditional millinery material, each fold is carefully pinned, observed, balanced, and stitched.
The final piece stands as a piece of sculpture in its own rite. When illuminated it casts a very gentle, and atmospheric warm glow, which adds a quiet drama to a space.
