How Allied Maker?s Arc Lighting Series Is Made
A lighting series built around a part, which can be seen in this Deconstruction where Allied Maker walks us through the design process.
You may recall the work of Allied Maker previously shared on Design Milk, as we’ve been fans of their modern lighting fixtures for some time now. The New York-based design and manufacturing studio combines raw materials like brass, American hardwoods, and hand-blown glass to create fixtures with clean, geometric forms that display a remarkable attention to detail, like the Arc. While their Arc lighting collection’s handmade parts can be mixed in all different ways, one component remains the same ? the arc piece. The entire collection was built around that particular part, which you’ll see in this month’s Deconstruction where Allied Maker walks us through the process from the design and engineering of the arc through to the finished product.
Details of our arc?s part drawings and models being looked over to be
implemented into a new design.
This is the initial and most important bend of our half-inch arc.
The final bend completes our half-inch arc part.
Picking through a batch of raw brass arcs to be spun then pulled for finishing.
The arc is sanded to prep for its custom finish.
An arc being hand finished in our Bronze patina, each with a one of a kind pattern.
The Bronze finish is being applied to a group of arcs.
A Nickel 20? dome is being blackened by hand.
The parts are being laid out parts for...
