The accompanying video for Paul Cocksedge's 2020 solo exhibition at Carpenters Workshop Gallery London, entitled Slump.

The acclaimed London-based designer uses industrial⁣⁣ sheets of glass to create a collection of limited edition and unique design through complex⁣⁣
processes, giving the rigid, flat material an unexpected softness and fluidity.⁣⁣
​⁣⁣
For the eight tables, the glass is stretched under high temperatures and ‘slumped’ over⁣ industrial and natural materials including concrete, steel, wood and rock. The glass reacts⁣ in different ways each time, creating one-of-a-kind pieces. The bases appear to be under a⁣ water surface, an effect that is emphasised in the Bubble table which is made of metal tubing⁣ and creates a soft drop-like surface.

The Rock coffee table juts out from a rock that gives⁣ the same allusion as a river running over a bolder. Cocksedge also uses patinated mild steel⁣⁣ to give an added level of depth and texture, exploring how a solid industrial material can be⁣ altered through time and nature. Each piece is the result of collaboration with dozens of skilled⁣ craftspeople in the UK, utilising specialised techniques and machines.⁣⁣
