ENLIGHTENED INVITATIONS

Invitations for the preview night of the 2014 Enlightened Exhibition. The whole design was laser engraved onto 4 different colours of 10mm colour changing perspex. Light reacts with the edges to give a vibrant colour, whilst the face of the invite remains almost colourless and transparent.

COMPUTER ARTS MAGAZINE

Hand drawn cover design for the 2014 November issue of Computer Arts Magazine. A photochromatic, light sensitive varnish was used on the cover so half of the design showing the names of the Top 30 Studios is only revealed in sunlight.

THE PHAETON CHAIR

Nominated for 2013 Best Furniture Design Award

Chair design for Enlightened - an exhibition exploring lasers in design. The entire chair is made of clear, 12mm Perspex and is made up of 77 individual pieces.

Briefed to create something that was beautifully elegant and graphic from one angle, whilst detailed & intricate from another. From the front and back, the chair barely looks like a chair, more a rigid interlocking group of vertical and horizontal lines, where as from the side it is highly flourished and fluid.

The chair was well received at Enlightened, with Perspex ® themselves featuring it as an inspirational piece.

A fun and bold typographic illustration asking the big question, do flying saucers exist? And what a better way to ask this question than a huge question mark made from the classic, nostalgic sweet - Flying Saucers.
