BLOTT WORKS
Hand-engineered functional sculpture
BLOTT WORKS is a small design studio, based in the north of England, producing limited-edition hand-engineered functional sculpture. Founded by Dan Morrison in 2012 to fuse together his two great passions - art and engineering.
The work is influenced by a love of characterful mechanical movement, by the sumptuous curves of custom cars and bikes, by the beauty of raw industrial materials, and by the functional charm of simple machine components.
Wherever possible parts and components are "over-engineered" to give an air of indestructible vulnerability and ensure they will last for generations. They are made out of the sorts of materials that have strong heritage in both practical and decorative settings such as industrial metals, concrete and hard woods.
The collection of work currently available consists of a family of desk and table lamps, some clocks, a large floor-standing lamp and a fan-assisted vase.
We would love to hear from you - whether you want to give us your thoughts on what we are doing, or want to find out more, or would like to discuss purchasing an edition of one of our limited-edition products.
