Icon Experiment

Saturday May 3rd 2008
The icon experiment is a feature at the UK’s biggest homes and interiors exhibition. In a space designed by architects FAT, the icon experiment will present work from some of the world’s most thought-provoking designers. Our aim is to produce the antidote to home shows, with a daily schedule of performances, interaction design, animation and special projects.

Studio Glithero is exhibiting a new installation. Resembling a chandelier, a ceiling-mounted machine rotates and repeatedly dips wick frames into a pool of wax, gradually forming 20 wax candles. The studio is also showing giant black chandeliers and documentation of a previous performance, Burn Burn Burn.

Studio Glithero was co-founded by Sarah Van Gameren and Tim Simpson, who studied together at London’s RCA
