Timothybenfurniture.co.uk Brief:
To design a contemporary and elegant illuminaire for the commercial and domestic market.
Kite is a simple yet elegant illuminaire that creates an ambient and enticing glow to any contemporary commercial or domestic environment.
TBF explains; 'the cable cord is the jewel in the crown, as this uniquely holds the whole piece together'.
Kite has received immense publicity and sale success from Shanghai to the US.
The result:
Consisting of two Plexiglas diamond-shaped panels that intersect leaving a space for the bulb, this illuminaire, apart from being kite-like, is evocative of a crystal or even the nib of a fine pen.
Kite is CNC cut and available in clear, orange, rot and blau Plexiglas® as standard and finished with a high flame polish.
