Bag stuck in a tree - A pendant light for thorsten van elten.

A bag stuck in a tree is merely a bag in the wrong context. It is a common occurrence in an urban environment but one that is often overlooked and unappreciated. To see it blowing gracefully in the breeze, filled with the warm glow of the sun can be quite mesmerising.

ed wanted to capture this moment in its entirety by suspending the branches in space, so it appears to float, completely detached and isolated from its surroundings, almost as if it had been cut from a tree and placed inside.

The branches have been rendered in a stylised, almost abstract form to exaggerate the re-contexualisation of the object itself and the colour selections help to push this further.

Using a real plastic bag as the diffuser enables the mood of the room to be altered simply by replacing the bag with one in a different colour or graphic.
