[x-heesy]

Umut Yamak’s Perch Light, 2014 Edition of 20 + 2 AP Material: Paper, brass, gold plated steel, cork Dimensions: Floor standing 1250 x 200mm, Wall mounted 500 x 350mm

The Perch Light is a balancing sculptural light made of folded paper and brass. The lamp takes the form of an abstract bird which appears to be delicately balanced on its metal perch. The bird is illuminated through contact with the perch and this lets the bird balance and swing without any cables whilst maintaining luminance. The design was inspired by nature and in particular, the elegance and beauty of a bird sitting on its perch.

The bird has been precisely counterbalanced to sit in a resting position on its perch unless activated into gentle motion by wind or touch.

Origami inspired paper light in motion

This beautiful stylized bird-shaped light sits still on its perch until you pass it, or a draft sets it in motion: then the bird gracefully swings, dipping back and forth whilst staying illuminated...isn’t that inspiring and peaceful? The ‘Perch Light’ is designed by architect and designer Umut Yamac.

Perch light, designed by Umut Tamac.

The Perch Light is a balancing sculptural light made of folded paper and brass. The lamp takes the form of an abstract bird which appears to be delicately balanced on its metal perch. The bird is illuminated through contact with the perch and this lets the bird balance and swing without any cables whilst maintaining luminance. The design was inspired by nature and in particular, the elegance and beauty of a bird sitting on its perch.

The bird has been precisely counterbalanced to sit in a resting position on its perch unless activated into gentle motion by wind or touch.

The bird can rest on either a floor-standing or wall-mounted perch. Each piece is fabricated by hand in London.

Perch Light is a playful, paper light design that looks like a small, abstract bird sitting quietly on the edge of a ledge. Created by London-based Umut Yamac, the interactive light comes alive and begins to rock back and forth in response to touch or wind.
