Alexander Taylor defined his career with Fold light made from a single sheet of metal
In the next movie from our exclusive video series, British designer Alexander Taylor discusses the impact his folded metal light for Established & Sons had on his career.
Launched in 2005 as part of British brand Established & Son's debut furniture and lighting collection, Fold is a small lamp folded from a single sheet of metal.
"I liked the idea of creating efficiency out of making something and the idea of using a single piece of material, a single process," Taylor explains in the movie, which was filmed at his London studio. "Inherently that also creates that character of the object."
Taylor initially experimented with heating and bending sheets of acrylic to make the lamp, but the resulting structures were too brittle so he switched to using aluminium sheets, which he folded using a metal press.
