I thought as the weather has been so incredible over the last few days that I should share on sun Star, starting with the mini star as the starting point, this little/big fella has many extra layers creating another star that passes through the other creating a really interesting form! Available to purchase via message and will also be on the website soon, these will be made in very very limited numbers!
These photos were taken by
On a recent shoot!
Also, It's that time of year again.!
has already begun this evening with the sunset club which has been ace., a super chilled start to an excellent show with some of the finest air-cooled and vehicles this country has to offer.
It's been great to catch up with some old friends this evening and meet some new ones! Looking forward to more catching up tomorrow.!
I've also had the pleasure of creating the trophies for this year's show, 16 in total and I'm really excited to see who they go to. There's some rough compression out there!
I'm always on the look out for interesting parts for new pieces so send me a message if you have anything you think I might like.. Also if you've got something that you'd like turning into something else please do get in touch..

From Formula 1 to Home Office Desk

When precision engineering meets classic design. This isn't just any desk lamp – it's a Brembo brake caliper that once gripped the wheels of an F1 car, now reimagined as an art deco Bankers Lamp.

Every curve tells a story of speed, every detail crafted from brass, aluminum, and copper and hand finished. From the racetrack to the workspace, some things are just too beautiful to retire. The components of the lamp are inspired by the forms of F1 cars past and present.

This has to be one of my favourites so far and shot by the incredibly talented .. and what better to shoot it in than a giant safe.! More shots of this to come as PJ has really brought it to life.!

Where craftsmanship meets motoring heritage.

Swipe to see the details of these handbuilt beauties that were recently featured by Silverstone Escapade! Each curve and join tells a story of precision and passion.

This weekend, I'm bringing some of my favourite pieces to the legendary Goodwood Members' Meeting! These chairs represent the perfect marriage of my love of design and engineering and the vintage automotive aesthetic of .

Come find us down Gasoline Alley and say hello – we love connecting with familiar faces and meeting new enthusiasts who appreciate where craftsmanship and motoring culture intersect.

Looking forward to sharing stories, inspiration, and maybe a pit lane coffee with our community this weekend! Who else is heading to Goodwood? Let us know in the comments! 👇

As I said in previous posts., it's been a crazy busy summer.! There's been lots going on and I thought I'd share a few snippets of what I've been working on..
First up is one of a few commissions I've been working on for a client., and it's called Einstein's hat.. The form of the lamp takes inspiration from a tile pattern created using kite shaped tiles. It's a non repeating pattern called aperiodic tiling where there is no pattern to copy and paste to keep it going .
The lamp., which is a pendant lamp actually hangs above a floor which is tiled using the Einstein's hat pattern..
The lamp is created completely from scratch and doesn't use any reused components., it also features a copper layer..
I'm looking forward to sharing more so keep a look out for more over the next few weeks.!
I'm always on the look out for interesting parts for new pieces so send me a message if you have anything you think I might like.. Also if you've got something that you'd like turning into something else please do get in touch..

.. I've been pretty quiet recently and that's mainly down to these trophies along with some other private commissions that I'll hopefully be able to share soon...
Made for one of the nicest shows on the scene at the moment and organised by one of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of working with .. This is the third set of trophies that I've made for the show and this year the component I decided to use as a starting point was the rocker cover from a type 1 VW engine.. The plan was to use two of these combined with the form language of my work with some form cues from air-cooled vehicles and this is the result.. It kinda has the look of a 1950's microphone or an oil cooler from a vw with engine., the base is a stylised combined form of the front of a splitscreen van and the rear of a Porsche..
Constructed from rocker covers supplied by clear lacquered mild steel with billet aluminium spacers and cork feet with engraved copper near industries tags.. Oh and they're lamps of course., all part of my mission to make trophies more of a useable thing rather than something that ends up in the downstairs toilet or loft.!
There are 11 in total., 10 for the top ten in show and one for best in show.. Both trophies are technically the same but with subtle differences., just like those between models of VW and Porsche's.. The top ten trophies are all clear lacquered with black rockers covers and a white cable (one of this year's colours) and the best in show features one green layer., green cable and the insides of the rocket covers are painted green..
I unfortunately can't make the show this year due to family commitments and I'm gutted I won't get to meet the new owners of them but I hope their new owners enjoy them as much as I've enjoyed making them.!
Good luck everyone.!
