Chan Andreassend New Zealand Design Table Lamps

" It reminded me of having afternoon naps in the sunroom when I was a child, wrapped in a feather quilt covered with paisley patterned fabric. Turning the Paisley Lights on for the first time was stunning. It seemed to reflect all those childhood dreams, the magic of stars and the Arabian Nights" ... Ronald

Objects of Light
The ceramic lights continue to develope into increasingly diverse and sculptural ideas, from the intricate Butterfly and Flower Lights to the sculptural objects of the Torso collection and the recent Family Heirloom objects of the teapot and anvil.
The ambience the lights create is one of the desired attributes of the work and is captured in the smallest of pieces such as the Baby Waves through to the Sculptures.

"These four pieces are about legends and fables that I would read when I was young. Polynesian Islands, Arabian Nights, Castles and
the most intriguing of all were the ones from the Orient. The spices, perfumes, splendid silks, spells and urns that always seemed to contain hidden secrets or a magic spirit. The form is inspired by Chinese perfume bottles with the lids becoming more elaborate reflecting headdresses and costumes from the stories" ...Ronald
