Melbourne, Australia

Australian-designer Dean Norton develops products that consider form, function, refined detailing and harmony in materials. Drawing inspiration from a number of contemporary Influences, he strives to create enduring pieces that connect on an emotional level, merging a balance between art and design whilst maintaining a minimalist design aesthetic. 

Daylight was created for Alt Material 4 2020. 

The brief was to design a piece in response to the theme “ingenuity,” to develop and make an object of use from limited resources during the lockdown. 

“How can design bring us closer despite social distancing and our current physical separation,” states the designer.

In an attempt to bring the outside into our homes during isolation, this piece has been designed to lift our well-being, and boost our creative energy.

Daylight is a sculptural, frosted glass, therapy lamp with a floating (6500k) full spectrum globe that mimics natural sunlight.
