Martin’s distinctive style evokes the classic modernism of artists such as Hepworth and Adams in this modernist sculptural interpretation of the grand chandelier.

His re-imagining of the traditional chandelier introduces a refreshing clarity and purity of form, distinguished by its airy structure and the warmth of his hand sculpted textural detail. Martin exploits the unique material properties of plaster to create the flowing tapered bowls and delicate textured surface of the chandelier.

The Lucie plaster chandelier is characterised by an elegant simple form, and a sensitivity to surface and texture. Martin’s graduated bowl shape, with the smaller foot beneath, is influenced by his admiration for iconic modernist studio potter Lucie Rie.

The elegant, visual lightness of the chandelier is achieved using a welded steel frame, slowly built up and contoured with layers of applied plaster. The simple minimalism of Martin’s work is softened and transformed by the texture achieved with his hand sculpted plaster, lending the geometric outline a unique tactility and warmth.

The chandelier is hand sculpted to order at our studio in the Sussex Downs.
