The Screwed light
............................................................................................................
Spikey and ugly pretty or not,
Of small brown screws there are alot,
Dangerously unfunctional,
So purely hypothetical,
Are the thousand screws that I had used,
But by the end I was bemused,
To make light that's so intense,
But altogether makes some sense

The OLIVE TREE light
............................................................................................................
Copper rings bound round you see,
I call this light the Olive Tree,
Casting shadows on it's own,
That look just like a honeycomb,
It's made from copper tall and bright,
all in one an Object With Light

SINK STRAINER light
............................................................................................................
I looked in the sink, I saw a sink strainer,
As I started to think, the idea became stranger,
Two in the shape like the eyes of a Lizard,
Part of the chemistry for the work of a wizard.

ANGEL light
............................................................................................................
To make an object look like this,
I found some mesh and gave it bliss,
Casting shadows on the walls,
Looking like an Angel falls.

SLINKY light
............................................................................................................
Slinky walking down the stairs,
Here I split one into pairs,
To give it flight and make it bright,
I hung one pair around the light.

COCOON light
............................................................................................................
Light in a cocoon gets bigger or small,
Or wrap it around into a ball,
Reflective interior captures the glow,
One so bright and one so mellow.

SPONGE light
............................................................................................................
A little light to make it bright
So this sponge is filled with Light,
It hangs in two's or three's or more,
Something you just can't ignore.

SAW light

See this saw and don't be scared,
For with a light it has been paired,
From toys to tools,
There are no rules,
To make an object look like jewels.

CHAIN DROPS light

Who sold me some lovely chain drops,
Without being shy,

All thanks to the girl from the shops.

Holding your notes keeping all areas neat,
Brightening the desk for a lighter agenda,
Stick your inspirations in a spring bender.

The design of things is as addictive as the love of things. Inspiration is everywhere and so are we, everything counts, music, laughter, humour, romance, dance, love and even hate. We are inspired and never tired! All these things we do are simply improvisations of our inspiration.
Making good use of all the objects we find, new or old every one can serve a purpose. Buy a thing and throw that thing, we find and then we make a thing.
The form, its function, performance and improvisation, a synchronised collaboration between 2D and 3D creating form through music, atmosphere and lifestyle, the objective of OWL.
.......................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................
OWL. A collection of objects with light improvised through form, function, and aesthetic.The concept is simple and widely practiced throughout the product design industry of the past and present. This work is based on reclaiming the functions of used or found objects or materials. Their functions have been re-applied practically into lifestyle to describe new forms from old forms that function mainly as desirable objects with light.Light and sound are the principle mediums that conduct the processes and techniques needed to orchestrate this flurry of materials with forms and functions.
.......................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................
These objects use material and form to sculpt the omittance of light with rendering results of light and shadow that transform interior surfaces into highly decorative picturesque environments.

I am by discipline a product designer. I graduated from Kent Institute of Art and Design in 2003 with BA(hons) and MA in Product design. Towards the end of the MA I began to specialize in product lighting for interiors and exteriors. After having completed my studies I resolved a series of product lighting concepts centred around the entertainment industry i.e bars, clubs, restaurants and hotels etc… This was followed by the production of 15 different lighting concept prototypes that collectively has been branded as OWL (Objects With Light). This concept was generated under the influence of my passion for public performances and my extensive ability to improvise an object through form, function and aesthetic synthesized with scenario of environment.

By the end of 2003 I begun working for Liquid Connective ( a large scale events organization) who gave me my first opportunity to perform with a pair of giant animated lighting installations I had designed and made. These proved to be extremely successful and have since toured most club venues in London such as SE1club, the Bridge, Brixton mass, The Rocket, The Stratford Rex, and The Glade Festival 2004/5 and many more up and down the country over the years. In addition to this, I was contracted to work on alternative weekends for Project Ozma and the Synergy Project who also organize large scale music events around London.

Since September 2005 I have been heavily involved as a primary designer in a number of high profile exhibitions publicly exhibiting my own design concept OWL with the organization Designers Block. These exhibitions have taken place at The Nicholls and Clark Building London, Seoul of Korea, The Canary Wharf and The Salon del Mobile otherwise known as the Milan Design fair and also inside the MJU – restaurant cocktail bar of the Millenium Hotel Knightsbridge London. My track record has proved to be a success. With numerous exhibitions and a generous helping of national and internationally renowned publications, my work in design has been spirited into the arts/design industry.

As well as a product designer maker, I am fully proficient in digital media, as a photographer, film maker, web designer, and graphic designer, with 8 years experience on mac and pc operating.. I have undertaken a numerous and simultaneous amount of tasks from start to finish in the design and promotion of my own work. Spanning from conception and design of products, to final hand made prototyping in the finished form. Including the production of presentations through photography and film making and the entire build and design of my website and promotional material such as catalogue, flyers, price lists, business cards, packaging, and transportation. As a result I account for all the finances and logistics in my work ensuring that all components of the products and events are as cost effective as possible. My strongest point is my ability to conceptualise and generate rational but unique and simple ideas executed by a strong eye for beauty and a thorough understanding of making and manufacturing or production techniques of 3D and 2D media. The nature of my work as a designer, demands that I be a highly skilled craftsman and designer, as I make all the products I design, in forms of innovative batch production techniques. These principles are just some of my key transferable skills into the design of my marketing engine.

GEORGIOSI MOVIE PRODUCTIONS (f'OWL)
.......................................................................................................
This is a theatrical presentation about the creation of one object from another.
The 'Slinky', from famous toy to decorative light.
This was part of a multidisciplinary study during the MA.
Performance in design is the art of making an object, with results that are expressive of the creative process. Imagination going hand in hand with practicality and innovation. There is no oral justification for this anthology of principles and processes, however, capturing the performance of creation on film depicts many of the distinctive elemants suited for the creation of an object. Innovation in cinematography is not the aim, the objective is to envelope as many elements of the creative process as possible in a collective time based visual and audio stimulation.
The focus for this musical theatrical performance is the "Slinky" light and it's story is how it came to be a light from a toy. The Slinky is an exceptional object for the dramatization of the film as its organic movement and clanging sounds embody a character of their own and seem to come alive on film. Inspired by a variety of music this is essentially an entertaining music video with synchronised editing of audio and visuals.
