Nest @ Tokara

the Nest hanging at Tokara's deli. The Port Jackson is aging gracefully and looking amazing.

Elle Decoration UK. November 2010.

Found Objects published in UK Elle Decoration's November edition. They were chosen alongside Tom Dixon's "void", Foscarini's "Aplomp" and others as one of the 9 best new pendant lights.

NEW Found Objects

Renamed my SWARM series Found Objects as that's exactly what they are inspired by. Just completed 3 new designs based on more wooden spinning tops. My personal favourite being the one based on the spinning top in the recent movie Inception.
Again turned from walnut and using LED lamps.
Sizes 220mm x 2000mm.

Did a small nest (1.9m x 1.6m x 1.6m) for the Visi 50th Exhibition held at Infinart on Bree Street, Cape Town.

Concepts of the Future

Visi 50th Edition. The Weavers Nest was chosen as one of the 50 definitive creations of the past 12 years.

"Elliot is born"

We have just completed the second Cratefan in the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.
This one is about keeping the excitement going after the world cup road show leaves our shores.
Again it’s about recycling. Nothing is manufactured for the sculptures, we just use components from existing systems. The crates from the Coca cola bottlers system and the scaffolding from a scaf company. Afterwards, in this case July 2011) the sculpture is dismantled and the components put back into their respective systems. The crates that were damaged or cut will be recycled into new crates.
His name is Elliot. Named after the foreman of the construction team that built him.
Approximately 4200 coca cola crates were used to build this one and he stands 18 meters tall.
The project was sponsored by Coca-Cola and managed by Art At Work Art Project management.
