Taking her eye and diversity to the commercial sector of design and leather work, Santha King has been collaborating with Volker Haug. A sensational lighting designer originally from Germany and quickly becoming Melbourne's most talked about lighting designer.
“I love educating people about the potential lighting can have on our lives.” Volker Haug
Starting out as a hobby, from the age of 10, Volker has remained very passionate about his lighting and now designs lights for contemporary spaces utilizing raw materials.
His unique industrial, minimalist style and limitless creativity can transform any space.
His work uses simple, clean lines, but combines this slick aesthetic with punchy colours and kooky shapes... classy yet full of personality.
The first lighting collaboration between Santha and Volker is the “Tom Tom” and “Nuts for you” series. These lights involve angled ceramic lamp holders cleverly foreseen with intricate leather coverings made by Santha King that add a sexual feel.
