Butterflies & Hairy Balls was commissioned for a customer who wished for a table lamp to be made from a random collection of objects she sent me in a box. Teemu chose yarn, butterflies and empty spray paint cans to use. He also sourced some fibreglass from his own storage to make the pink base for this lamp. The butterflies were stiffened with clear cast polyester resin. The customer didn't know what she would receive and Teemu as the maker didn't know what material she would give him.

Part of the Chinese Restaurant collection, this table lamp was created with sculptor’s clay and finished in soft opaque colours. Each element was handcrafted and modelled into leaf-like segments that resemble the acanthus plant, following initial sketches. The series was initiated by a desire to create objects that were the antipode of traditional Scandinavian modern design.
