This is Wing, the other Nixie clock we designed in collaboration with Paul of Bad Dog Designs. Nixie tubes were used in the 1950s and 1960s as numeric displays but were quick superseded by LED and VFD displays. #nixie #nixieclock #nixiedeskclock #deskclock #wing

A side view of Pebble clock, designed with Andy Plant right back at the beginning. Made out of thick cast aluminium with stainless steel and brass parts and a dressed concrete base. #clock #collectorsclock #handmadeclock #mechanicalsculpture
Way back at the beginning of Blott Works there were two of us - me and Andy Plant. We designed these Pebble chain clocks together. They were good days but Andy had other commitments so had to pull out in the end which was a big shame. #backintheday #clocks #contemporaryclocks
Here's another image of a Beacon floor lamp, this time in the closed position. This design began with thoughts of flames, matches, tulips, hands, diggers and beacons. #floorlamp #lampdesign #oakfurniture #handmade #interiors #interiordesign

Here's an old picture of a Clamshell Alchemist lamp, taken by a photographer visiting Felix lighting in Bath many years ago. This lamp design was one of the first coming out of Blott Works. #lampdesign #clamshell #industrial
A close-up of a Beacon we made earlier showing the slatted construction and aluminium detailing. The two halves are hinged to allow them to move apart, changing the shape and letting more light escape upwards. #floorlamp #interiors #contemporaryfurniture #mechanicaldesign
This is a Jodrell Nixie grandfather clock. This was developed in collaboration with Paul from Bad Dog Designs who handled the Nixie tubes and all the clever electronics stuff. #jodrell #jodrellbank #nixie #nixietubes #nixieclock #grandfatherclock #furniture #retrofuturistic
Here's a picture of an earlier Beacon floor lamp on show at Chelsea Design Centre as part of London Design Week 2021. We were part of a very talented group of creatives exhibiting with Design Nation. #chelseadesigncentre #interiors #floorlamp #lamp #furniture #furnituredesign
A brand new Jodrell Nixie grandfather clock living happily in Rugby. This clock is really loving hanging out with all its stylish new friends. #clock #grandfatherclock #nixie #nixieclock #jodrell #jodrellbank #contemporaryclock #sculpture #interiors #style #elledecor
An A-Type Balance lamp living its best life in its new home in Rugby. This lamp looks very looks very chuffed to be sitting on this Black Oak Otterman Eames Table. #lamp #designerlamp #sculpture #interiors #eames #sculpturallighting #beautifulinteriors
We've just started work on a new Beacon floor lamp for a customer. I'm really proud of this lamp design which has slowly evolved over the last four years. It is great to be working on one again. #floorlamp #lamp #beacon #lampdesign #interiors #interiordesign #furniture
Quirky and characterful, these beautiful birds would be fun and functional additions to a workspace or side table! A modern mix of industrial and natural materials, there's something everyone is guaranteed to love! 💡 @blottworks #unusuallamps #kineticsculpture #interiordesign

Many thanks to @wdsolomon for helping me convert this original design from powered-by-wire to battery power and switching on by motion or touch. It will make all the difference to this design from 7 years ago.
Finally got round to making a walnut variation Balance lamp. I'm really chuffed with it. Extra classy. The originals use beechwood for the spherical shades and quarter sawn oak veneer over birch ply for the rockers. #walnut #walnutfurniture #woods #desklamps #cooldesklamps #lamps
Paul's also making these cracking pictures out of soldered components now ...
