Dean Norton – 'Daylight Forever' Lamp, 2024
Daylight Forever is a reimagined edition and continued narrative of the original Daylight lamp created during the time of uncertainty in 2020 for alt.material in response to their theme ‘Ingenuity’ This light piece evolved post-pandemic to symbolise freedom and optimism for the future.
This sculptural glass infinity lamp comprises tinted mirrored glass components that enclose a floating full-spectrum frosted globe that mimics the same natural light of the sun. In an attempt to bring the outside into our homes, this piece aims to lift our well-being and boost our creative energy.
