Formed in 2015 by Newcastle-based Nick Kennedy and Oslo-based Isaac Voelcker, our work draws heavily from well established respective practices as artist and architect. We are influenced by british and nordic design traditions while remaining routed in developing our own language. We love the process of making, and we delight in well made things. 

 

We are currently focusing on sculptural lighting design and, since 2016, we have developed an award-winning family of lampshades. Each design is commercially available here on our website and from small select retailers around the UK.
