London 2012 Olympic Torch
Laser cut aluminium
Paused at 10%
"For the Olympic torch we created a curvilinear form from aluminium sheets making the most of the material's strong and light-weight properties. Paused as a flat sheet, the outline and perforated pattern make its final form instantly recognisable."
- Edward & Jay
Part of ‘In The Making’ exhibition - more than twenty objects during the manufacturing stage of their construction...curated by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, the design duo who are perhaps best known for designing the 2012 London Olympic torch.
The pair commented on the exhibition “‘We have always been fascinated by the making process as it is an integral part of our work. We have curated an exhibition that will provide a platform to capture and reveal a frozen moment in the manufacturing process and unveils an everyday object in its unfinished state. Often the object is as beautiful, if not more so, than the finished product!”
