The Art of Joy: Inside the Design of the “Coral Fan”
True creativity is about making something that feels good. With our latest release, the Coral Fan, our designer Megan set out to capture the unadulterated joy of the Australian ocean and freeze it in steel.
A Vision in Steel
Megan reimagined steel as something delicate and organic. She designed an intricate, lace-like cellular structure that mimics the fragile beauty of a sea fan found on a reef. By layering these open-webbed sheets, the sculpture interacts with its environment—catching and filtering light to cast dancing, wave-like shadows that evolve throughout the day.
The Beauty of Contrast
The aesthetic genius of this piece lies in its Colour palette, designed to create a visual vibration:
- The Warmth: A bold Coral Red powder coat anchors the piece, reminiscent of vibrant reef life.
- The Shimmer: A specialised Iridescent Silver-Blue finish that glimmers like sunlight hitting the water.
Mounted on a sleek, dark geometric plinth, the result is a sculpture that feels modern, weightless, and alive. Whether placed in a garden or an indoor entryway, the Coral Fan is a masterclass in modern art.
