LIGHTING DESIGN
WINNER Copper Flask Lighting System
Following an increased demand for variation in their existing suite of light fittings to suit commercial interiors projects and large scale commissions, Copper Design embarked on a mission to create a fully customisable lighting system. Flask is the result of this three-year period of experimentation. The final design was the fruit of an obsession with the way light transmits through coloured glass. After months of prototyping, a slim, textured borosilicate glass tube was decided upon as the ideal vessel to illuminate. The striking, mouth-blown luminaire is created with precision glass-blowing techniques in either clear or sandblasted glass. The coloured nodes take the form of sconces, pendants and tubular mounts, offering customers endless options for colour, shape and glass thickness when designing a bespoke lighting network. A variety of metal tubes, joins and bends connects the completely customisable arrangement, which can be positioned vertically or horizontally to fit a space. Made within a cost-effective manufacturing model, the Flask light is produced on a made-to-order basis. The modular system can be installed as a singular beam or suspended from the ceiling as a fleet.
“Very innovative with a lot of wow factor. Love the endless possibilities and the building block idea.” – Volker Haug
Commendations

Dale Hardiman + Stephen Royce Open Garden
Taking over a year to develop, this sculptural glass shade brings together Venetian glassblowing techniques and LED technology. The abstract interpretation of Murano tradition delivered a versatile luminaire that ripples like the ocean.
Discarded iPhone screens are transformed into a unique, conceptual installation. With the screens removed, the LCD phone panels are warped into an arched wall fixture which beams light across its curved surface.
“The Ceto collection is an extremely considered, sophisticated and well-crafted range of exceptionally beautiful lighting pieces.” – Kate Stokes
“This is a brilliant collection of art that has been thoughtfully executed. It’s so exciting to see the boundries of object/lighting/ art being blurred.” – Kate Stokes
