This version of the Propeller light counterposes the natural timber elements with patinated copper.
 
The patterns from the patina are different each time, We accelerate the patina process, utilising our own solution, then stabilise the patina utilisng a range of techniques, including a final sealing process of many coats of clear enamel spray and blonde shellac.
 
The distinctive three-dimensional floral-inspired form allows for glimpses of light to escape and cast shadows on the surrounding surfaces, but also allow for glimpses of the organic looking patina pattern, from various angles.
 
Designed as a user-friendly flat pack system in order to reduce the cost of shipping and its effect on the environment, the Propeller Pendant and Propeller Droop Pendant lights are instantly recognisable and an iconic design in the Duncan Meerding range.
 
Meshing organic and industrial shapes, these lights cast dramatic shadows through an 8-bladed form. A mix of hand-driven and computer-aided machines have been used in the construction of these lights, which are designed and produced in Tasmania.
 
The 8 curved blades slot into a custom central bracket and are held in place with small grub screws and custom clamping system. The bracket then fixes into a turned Tasmanian Blackwood nose cone cover cap. The pendants are easily assembled, with an instructional video here.
 
The Propeller Pendant light comes with a standard 2m long cord in black cloth with a black ceiling rose, custom-made aluminium bracket, and turned Tasmanian Blackwood nose cone cover cap.
