INSULATOR
Sconce A
Inspired by the electrical insulators that string above the railways across Great Britain, we have created our Insulator lighting series.
Highly designed and engineered components of pressed glass and solid brass fit together to celebrate the industrial heritage of our homeland.
Included with Sconce A:
- Pressed Glass Shade x1, Ø14cm
- Solid Brass Reflector Pin
- Solid Brass Bulb Holder
Available with frosted or clear glass, with mirror polished or dark patinated brass.
Should you require a bespoke hanging length, this is something we can accommodate.
Over years travelling back and forth to London on the East Coast mainline, the previously nondescript overhead electrical wiring began to reveal a hidden beauty. In particular, the forms of the ‘pin insulators’ began to command attention. Their utilitarian yet beautifully-curving forms are generally in glass or ceramic, and they act to prevent the discharge of electrical current down the posts which support the overhead power cables.
