Eternal Opening

Eternal Opening is the first furniture range that I have created – comprised of coffee table, side table and floor lamp – which will be offered as made-to-order pieces via my personal website. Each item is fully hand-made by myself.

The tables are crafted from a reinforced Jesmonite laminate and the lamp shade from pigmented fibreglass. Extensive testing has taken place to understand how the materials involved can be best utilised to maximise relevant properties such as opacity, textural contrasts and strength-to-weight ratio.

This project allowed me to explore my fascination and love for the blurring of lines between furniture and sculpture, product and art. Many manufacturing solutions had to be executed in a low-cost manner with heavily restricted access to standard manufacturing equipment. This pushed me to develop my own processes for creating objects to a high standard and finish.
