This series of lights was inspired by the natural environment of my neighbourhood in Cam Thanh, a rural district in Hoi An. The project started out to create a balance to the computer based and highly technical design work that I usually work on. Benefitting from the available natural resources and the exquisite local craftmanship, the lamps are made from bamboo, an extremely versatile and ecological material.
All Red Chair lamps are manufactured with a careful eye for detail. Thanks to the experience and the high skills of a local master craftsman the quality and workmanship are consistently high. Different thicknesses of bamboo, assembled with beautiful joints, textile covered cables, Edison-style light bulbs and brass fittings are among the features that make these products truly beautiful.
Building a musical instrument has always been my dream. Having played the ukulele for a while now, it was finally time to build one. The colours are inspired by the beautiful beach in Batu Ferringhi, Penang. The sides are varnished in medium grey. Top and bottom surface are painted in navy-blue, which contrasts well with the gold leaves that are laid down in an irregular fashion.
