Formed from pleated and folded aluminium mesh with a turned and cast aluminium foot, it is one of the more unorthodox and most successful designs by Georgina Scott. She is a young, innovative designer of lighting products who experiments with a range of different materials. She conceived the design for this lamp in 1998 and it went into production shortly afterwards.
