Last week we hosted two students from Birkenhead College, we had an in depth discussion regarding contemporary design, the process from start to finish, how we take a design from paper and turn it into a light and all sorts of material questions. Both girls are sitting NCEA level three and part of their textile design course is to look at other forms of design….which is where we come in ✨ . . . . #jamesrussdesigns #jamesruss #epsilonlighting #artisians #industrialdesign #industrial #interior #uniquelighting #lighting #creativity #nzarchitecture #making #scupture #bespokelighting #design #designerlighting #architectural #LED #instagood #interiordesign #designlife #sculpturaldesign #art #newzealanddesign #handcrafted #bespoke #iconiclighting #custom #production
