Entry Description

The Ugly Ducting takes inspiration from two things - the basic element of drawing, “scribbling” and a common household item, the “duct hose”.

The lighted uneven line seems to jump out of the sketch book and taking 3D shape, forming a bright "scribbling lines" that looks surreal. With a fixture holding the tubes, it gives the impression that the line is floating.

Designed and made in my experimental centre, the Ugly Ducting is a prototype in development of an extended series of lamp design based on the idea of lines and ducting.
