London studio Doshi Levien has self-produced a collection of lights using the techniques employed to make and repair cars.
Earth To Sky is a range of seven lamps made using automotive aluminium, designed to bridge the gap between sculptural and functional objects.
The collection includes two table lamps, a ceiling light and a series of wall-hung lights, all designed as pieces of art, as well as to provide illumination.
All seven lights in the collection include an element of shaped aluminium
It is the first collection that Doshi Levien has produced entirely itself from conception through to production ? a move described as a "brand new step" for the studio.
"The reason we started this project was to have complete freedom," said studio founders Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien. One light features solid and perforated aluminium elements
A wall-mounted light features a vertical rod of brass that stands over a metre high, with interlocking concave and convex pieces of solid and perforated aluminium, one of which is pierced by the rod in two places.
The light comes in single and double bulb variations with differing overlapping forms.
