Creating Balance with Anglepoise

September 21, 2013Filed under: Inspiring Restaurants

As part of the London Design Festival, I went to see the Creating Balance exhibit in the Carnaby Street area of Central London.  You knew you were in the right place because a giant yellow Anglepoise greeted you on the street.

Creating Balance is a collaborative project among the iconic lamp, Anglepoise, Strong Island (the cultural center for the arts in Portsmouth) and the University of Portsmouth.

This year Anglepoise are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the original 1227 which has become a design icon for its spring technology, flexibility and balance.

In the Creating Balance exhibit, 10 photographers were paired with 10 artists/designers and 1 Anglepoise light each to create as inspiration struck.  The Creating Balance website documents the year-long creative process which has resulted in posters, videos, and exhibitions.

Here’s one of the videos that was made.

I thought this lamp which had a cup of sugar built onto a wooden base was really amusing.

Oh yes,  as you can see from the photos of the delicious treats on offer, spending time with the exhibition was not only inspiring but delicious.

Creating Balance is part of the Icon Design Trail during London Design Festival.  I only had time for a couple of items on the Icon Trail.  Did you have a chance to go?  If so, I’d love to hear about it in the comments below.
