Matt and I met at the Royal College of Art. He’s a photographer and I’m a ceramicist. The Tangle Lamp is the collecting together of some of our aesthetic interests. I think you can see strongly Matt’s influence as a photographer on the design through the use of directional light and mine in the form of delicate porcelain flutes that create a swaith of many openings. The Tangle Lamp is the result of hours of discussion and argument over every detail. The result is bold but I think also results in quite a calm object as we made sure every detail was resolved.
