Here's some text from Hubert:
--
Spinning Light, a collaboration with Scandinavian lighting manufacturers
Unique Copenhagen.
Spinning Lights are inspired by the process of metal spinning and intend to emphasise this technique, utilising aesthetic references to toy spinning tops. The lamps consist of a lacquered spun aluminium shade, counterbalanced with an injection moulded PVC fitting to extend the transition between shade
and cable.
