PERCH LIGHT WALL
BY UMUT YAMAC.
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 lets the bird
balance and swing without any cables whilst
maintaining luminance. What is more poetic
and elegantly captivating than a bird perched
on a branch, flirting, singing and celebrating
life? We all recognize this image and steal
a moment from our precious time to admire
this triumph of nature and beauty. Inspired by
such natural glory and forever fascinated by
the combination of balance and movement,
Umut Yamac has created six lamps which
captivate the viewer through motion, poetry
and grace: the Perch Light.
