Information

Henry exhibited the Globe, his earliest project, during a private view in his Camberwell Studio. The Globe is the result of a three years long experimentation into reflection and light. Globe echoes a city or a landscape, whose appearance it's transformed by the light at night. Its double nature of reflective object when unlit, and infinite geometrical reality when lit, generates an hypnotic feeling in the viewer. Who recognises the object as something familiar: a planet, a cell or an atom, and yet is fascinated by it. The globe was machined entirely by hand with the use of laser cut templates and hand held router, long before the studio was equipped with a CNC machine. The installation is 950mm in diameter.
Welch BespokeWelch Bespoke was born from the idea that beautifully crafted objects can have a positive impact on our emotions and well-being. We spend most of our time indoor’s and our experience of light plays a fundamental role in managing stress and anxiety. Each design is impeccably finished and handmade with a high level of craftsmanship and respect for material. Inspired by the complex patterns and structures found in nature, these lamps seek to transform your daily experience of light, by adding playfulness and joy to your interiors.  Welch Bespoke was founded by Henry Welch in 2020 in Camberwell, London. Henry’s exceptional craftsmanship and extensive knowledge of fabrication methods were acquired through a BA in Model Making at the Arts University Bournemouth, and further honed through four years as a maker at the architectural firm Foster and Partners. Bearing witness to the waste of the architectural industry, Henry felt compelled to give new life to leftover materials, leading him to set up his studio and fulfil his passion to produce sculptural lampshades for interiors. Welch Bespoke aims to establish a dialogue between the two mediums of CNC machining and hand-building techniques. The results are objects which honour the beauty of craft while pushing the boundaries of material properties, in the belief that craftsmanship methods can evolve alongside computer aided manufacturing.
