Harry Allen's Paperwork lighting for Hive speaks of the past, present, and future. The production technique is an innovative take on age-old papier maché, and the forms are lifted from traditional lamps. However, the molded-paper lamps have a very contemporary feel and they are lit by cutting edge LED technology - an environmentally-friendly combination that will serve for years to come.
The lamps fall into Harry Allen's REALITY series, which consists of objects whose form is "sampled" from existing sources. Harry has never been attracted to overly - formal design. His design process emphasizes the inherent beauty of things - beauty from concept, beauty from materials, beauty from structure - REALITY takes this quest one step further and borrows forms from the world around us.
