This is part of an installation called Volute which David will be exhibiting in Milan during the Salone del Mobile or Furniture Fair from 6-10th April.

It is a development of his well-received light series which are made up from many pieces of thin plywood cut with a computer. This is part of an installation called Volute which David will be exhibiting in Milan during the Salone del Mobile or Furniture Fair from 6-10th April.

It is a development of his well-received light series which are made up from many pieces of thin plywood cut with a computer.This is made possible by David's owning and operating of the complete process from computer design to CNC router machine operation in his Cicada Workshop. In this design the surface of the light is extended outward and down to the floor, 'involuting' from inner to outer surface, and creating the entire structure, not unlike the beautiful sea-shell called a volute. It is an exciting and challenging project with the final piece being assembled in situ in Milan. All the pieces will be carried over in a suitcase.

The venue is in the popular Zona Tortona which is the focal area of creative activity in the centre of the city during the fair. It will be in part of the space used by the German company Art Aqua who are manufacturing some of David's designs in Europe.
