designboom recently got a personal look at south african designer heath nash’s cape town studio.
the unassuming black and white building sits on a steep hill above the emerging woodstock area in
east cape town. inside, the studio is filled with scrap materials of all kinds, which nash converts into
his recycled creations. floors are covered in plastic bottles and finished lamps hang from the ceiling.
nash showed us some of his new projects including a weaving project done with a group of
craftswoman in zimbabwe and the metallic material he will be converting into a series of dresses.

shooting 'anemone' lamp by heath nash for artecnica



'anemone' lamp by heath nash for artecnica

the 'anemone' lamp is packaged flat and expands into a flexible three-dimensional structure
composed of connected four-wall cells.
anemone unzips to accommodate a protective metal sphere that serves as the lamp’s structural
core. this safety feature turns the lampshade into a malleable, interactive piece that can be
moved and manipulated. this is heath's most industrial product so far, distributed by american
company artecnica.
