‘Fabricate’ was presented at the group exhibition ‘Variability’ as part of the Icon Design Trail during the London Design Festival 2010.

The basic components from the ‘Fabricate’ flat pack include a spiral wire frame, an electric light fitting, and the light shade itself, which is a piece of fabric with a pocket (or pockets) woven in. The pocket houses the spiral frame that provides a skeleton that creates a sphere at the centre of which lies the light fitting. There are many factors in the fabric that could be altered. For instance, the yarn could be different colour, different make, which means unlimited possibilities of different pattern; the shape of the pocket could be square, round or even oval; and if one has a big room and needs something big and impressive instead of compact and intimate, then instead of cutting the fabric into units of pockets, one could make one’s own configuration by cutting out a line of three pockets or a square of nine.
