Charlie White — 'The Glacé' Floor Lamp, 2026 — ON HOLD

The Glacé Floor Lamp presents the illusion of a stack of luminescent paper boxes. Constructed from an English watercolour paper soaked in epoxy resin, the column create a glowing omni direction light in a space, both calm and bold. The resin contributes a honey coloured translucency to the paper, whilst also ensuring longevity and robustness. The crowning eye nut which locks the diffuser to the structure also functions as the pull for the lamp to be picked up from.

Charlie White lives and works in Melbourne on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. Characterised by the transformation of unlikely materials into design archetypes, White creates an aesthetic language of somber, gothic plasticity through an economy of means. His seductive and expressive works use utility as the basis for explorations in texture and structure.

 White's design background is rooted in his formative studies in Fine Art at the Canberra School of Art and the Glasgow School of Art. Along with degrees in Philosophy and Architecture from the University of Melbourne, White's designs and artwork position themselves as part of a greater historical continuity of spatial understanding.

 Recent exhibitions have included the 100 Chairs by Friends and Associates, Muji, Made., and Melbourne Now 2024 NGV Group Show. Works from White's commission-based practice reside in private collections both in Australia and abroad.
