In a world of mass production, where strict requirements dictate the forms of objects, Barry Llewellyn liberates materials by allowing them to morph, crack and melt. The outcome manifests in a series of illuminated wall pieces that embrace a more organic form language and reflect the rhythm of the natural world. From puckering glass and unruly ceramics to overflowing metal, the elements compose unique organisms, each playing with light in their own way. In a time when our domestic environment is dominated by straight edges, standardisation and efficiency, ‘Polyphony’ presents a refreshing harmony with a daring dance between hard and soft, synthetic and natural. Wall pieces are mounted using an included screw template. Each piece comes with a 2 meter power chord. The lights can be turned on and off by touching the ceramic element.

Barry Llewellyn
Barry Llewellyn (b. 1998) is an Irish designer, currently based in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Barry received his BA from Design Academy Eindhoven, during which he established his practice centred around creating experimental objects for interior space. Often starting with remains as diverse as broken ceramic and discarded plastic, he balances a juxtaposition between the artefacts we consider waste and those that we treasure dearly. By binding these materials together, he grows new forms which are rich in colour, texture and diversity to shape stories that are both materially and socially relevant to our time.
