Product description
In creating the Pole Light, Paul Cocksedge is challenging the common perception that light travels in a straight line. Light travels from its source, embedded within a concrete base, up through an optical grade, precisely curved, transparent acrylic rod c
ulminating in a bright beam appearing more than a metre from its original source. The achieved illusion is of bending light. The Pole Light provides ambient light as well as a dimmable, focused, directional beam. The design uses a minimum of materials and
components yet provides an unexpected spectacle rarely found, or attempted, in domestic lighting product.In creating the Pole Light, Paul Cocksedge is challenging the common perception that light travels in a straight line. Light travels from its source,
