STUART HAYGARTH -
Tail Light, 2007
Even as a commercial photographer, crafting book covers and photo- montages for clients including Esquire, Daimler-Chrysler and Penguin, Haygarth would arrange objects and materials into spectacular collages before photographing the tableaux for print.
For Tail Light, Haygarth has transformed the tail lights of collated industrial vehicles into towers of light. Haygarth's sculptural chandeliers are a reappraisal of an object that is seen everyday on roads across the globe, but rarely appreciated for the geometric patterns or the ambient light created. As Haygarth says, 'my work revolves around everyday objects, collected in large quantities, categorised and presented so that they are given new meaning. It is about giving banal and overlooked objects new significance'.
MORITZ WALDEMEYER
By Royal Appointment
Recognised as one of the most innovative and exciting designers of his generation, Waldemeyer, was born in East Germany. He moved to London in 1995 where he trained as an engineer at Kings College. Since then, he has collaborated with many of the world’s top architects and fashion designers including Ron Arad, Zaha Hadid and Hussein Chalayan.
His work is a fusion of technology, art, fashion and design.
The shape of the chairs evoke the design of medieval thrones. The holes in the back of the chair gradually increase in size, making the chair at once solid yet insubstantial, as though it might be dissolving into the air. Strange and surreal, witty yet also spiritual, this is one of Waldemeyer’s most arresting projects to date.
