Behalve het ontwerpen van nieuwe objecten is Henry Wilson erg goed in het aanpassen van
bestaande ontwerpen. Goed gehacked zeg maar.....
Besides designing new objects
Henry Wilson is very good in inventing additions to
existing objects.

2. Aanpassing van de Wassily Chair
3. Functie aanpassing van een fabriekslamp: behalve direct licht nu ook sfeer...
4. Aanpassing van de Anglepoise
(ontworpen in 1932 door George Carwadine)
door het metalen frame te vervangen door hout..
of er een porceleinen kap op te zetten:
Enkele nieuwe ontwerpen willen we jullie ook niet onthouden:
1. Het 'A-joint' systeem is zo gemaakt dat er vele mogelijkheden
ontstaan voor het maken van tafels, stoelen en banken...
2. Lamp 'Bedrock'
Bedrock lamps were designed as a reaction
to the phase out of the Edison lightbulb in Australia.
The wasted energy of the filament is converted into heat,
which is subsequently 'lost' into the environment.
In bedrock lamp this heat is captured by the high thermal mass
of the concrete
resulting in a warm pillow-like rock
The 'bedrock float' lamp celebrates this ancient
form of illumination by displaying
the light at the top of a resin-impregnated cord
wrapped around the cast concrete bag,
suggesting we consider and respect the now redundant technology.
