Committee
Committee will be showing their now famous Kebab Lamps.
The Committee Kebab Lamp stands are made by skewering a collection of found objects, antiques and other miscellany no longer in use with the aim of delighting the viewer with an explosion of colour and reference. Built as a totem of improbably varied materials, the lamps are carefully composed to contain stories and meanings amongst the eclectic objects they include and consequently each lamp is unique and filled with pieces from different eras that allude to the constant turning of fashion and style.
