Friend and fellow design man Mark Champkins has the honorable title of ‘Inventor in residence’ at the Science museum. As unofficial back-room design and CAD support I’ve seen these projects come and go, so wanted to blog them up.

Below is the Black Hole Lamp - A gift from the science museum to Prof. Stephen Hawkins

Necker Cube

I was asked by Mr Joe Banks to create a necker cube animation – of course i didn’t have to look it up…

Anyway, it was tricker than i first thought, but eventually created this. Joe plans to use it in an up-coming exhibition, more details when i know them.

The important thing is that the cube is always rotating in one direction – the rest is down to your brain and what it wants to see…

The new Twinings advert came on TV the other day and I have to admit I was slightly mesmerized by it.

The character movements were so delicate and realistic with a refreshing visual style it made a beautiful change to the in-your-face pop-up CG adverts that always bombard us around Christmas. Well done Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO, and Psyop LA.

Swiss-Nokia

I came across this the other day, deep in my archives and I still thought it was funny.

Dreamt up by Alice Garland many years ago and carefully created by a younger version of myself, we present to you the Swiss-Nokia, the inappropriate product mash-up with a tin-opener and SMS abilities.

A laser-cut dotted pattern creates the silhouette of a retro lamp within a pine box.

As a result of the bulb positioning, the emitted light is reflected from the internal wooden surface providing a warm, cosy glow. Ideal for a bed-side reading light

Copper Lamp

Copper is always changing.

The surface finish reacts to the environment, changing from shiny to matt and eventually to a dull green, the price fluctuates daily with the non-ferrous metals market and it’s malleability allow it to take on a multitude of different forms.

A design using copper should therefore reflect it’s variable properties.

Every Copper Lamp is composed of the same number of elbows and lengths. It is built as a symmetrical 2-dimensional structure, before ever joint is twisted a random amount to create a unique 3 dimensional sculpture

The price is currently £500 – This changes in accordance with the current price of copper
