Jesse Butterfield is a London-based designer and researcher exploring the relationships between material culture, place, and systems of production. Through hands-on making and material experimentation, his work embraces unpredictability as part of the creative process. His recent objects investigate sheet steel’s ability to behave like paper. Beginning with simple paper maquettes, the work translates their naïve forms into steel through laser cutting and welding, preserving the playful character of the original prototypes.

Jane Wright + Jesse Butterfield: Steel and Lace Floor Lamp Part of the series On the Soft Edge, the Floor lamps brings together Jane Wright's reinterpretation of traditional lace-making techniques and Jesse Butterfield's sculptural steel forms. Celebrating the tension between utility and ornamentation, the collection assembles furnishings that engage with and subvert archetypes of domesticity, gendered objects, and material expectations. Questioning material historicity, the series brings the two designers' distinct processes and references into dialogue. Here the standing floor lamp focuses the eye into the intricate details of lace transparencies through a sheer silk that ebbs and flows against the hammered steel base.
