Taking the classic hand shadow of a bird to new heights, designer J.P. Meulendiks has created a large pendant light made of a series of hands that cast shadows on the walls that include the classic hand shadow of birds.
The piece is called Bird in Hand, and it is made of a material called ECOLOTEK, which is a durable, fully compostable material made of natural hemp fibers and a binder.
When the light is turned on, a series of bird shadows are cast around the room, making an abstract visual of a flock of birds.
Meulendiks designs furniture ,lightning, and other interior products. In 2010 he started to focus on ecologic design and sustainability and developed the ECOLOTEK material, and created his new label called PLANKTON.
He writes on his website, “I like to describe my work as: fresh, soulful, minimal, with a slice of humor… I try to put a little poetry and soul into a object. The idea usually defines the design of the product.”
