THE LIGHTING COLLECTION
The Organ Pipe Chandelier
One of Alex's most impressive pieces to date, the Organ Pipe Chandelier has been created using 18 bespoke brass organ pipes.
Organ pipe making or 'voicing' is one of the oldest craft practices still alive in the UK. These organ pipes have been made in the UK in the traditional way with the fluted ends spun on a wooden last. This is an incredibly skilled hands-on practice whereby the frictional heat of the spinning mould slowly shapes the metal.
The incredible quality of the golden light formed from the horns casts haloes of light in all directions, and when not even switched on the chandelier is a beautiful glowing sculpture that reflects some of the UK's finest traditional craftspeople.
