Objet Petite Série (<100)

From the outset I wanted to design an elegant light made from glass that possessed a subtle element of intrigue. I then discovered that when a UV bulb is positioned next to a glass container filled with Bombay Saphhire and Tonic, the liquid glows blue, the same colour of the Bombay Saphhire bottle. This inspired me to design a lignt based on these unusual aesthetic qualities, a lignt bulb-shaped glass vessel in a chandelier on to which you shine an ultra-violet lignt. The liquid changes from being crystal clear to glowing blue. The liquid becomes the light. Paul Cocksedge

Technique
Aptly named the Bombay Sapphire Light, the design involves pouring Bombay Sapphire and tonic into a light bulb-shaped vessel and shining a UV light onto the chandelier. Switched on, the clear translucent liquid is transformed into an incredible glowing blue colour.
