Designcraft

The FINK Droplet Hanging Light is designed by Robert Foster and the prototype was shown originally at Robert's solo exhibition at Metalab 2009. The design was extrapolated for a commissioned installation of 22 individual lighting forms for the foyer of the British High Commission in Canberra and further streamlined for the Fink-designed fit-out of the cafe in the new ActewAGL building in Canberra.

The design is a junction between our unique thermo forming process with a form that is reminiscent of a droplet of dew running down a blade of grass or the hanging crystallise from a butterfly. Robert wanted to create a natural form which would inspire but that was still distinct and unseen in the realm of design: breaking the boundaries between reality and creative vision.
