Innermost,
the London and Hong Kong based lighting, furniture and
interior accessories design group, launched Tie by Peter
Mac Cann / Made* as part of its 2009 Lighting Collection.
Tie recently won a Homes and Gardens
Classic Design Award 2009.
Homes & Gardens joined forces with the Victoria and Albert
Museum and H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, to establish the Classic
Design Awards. Over the past ten years the awards have underscored
the flourishing state of Britain's design tradition. According
to Innermost co-founder, Russell Cameron, “The Homes
and Gardens Classic Design Awards recognises the weight of
design talent of companies and designers based and trained
in the UK, and strengthens the perception of the British
design industry in both local and international circles.”
Tie pendant is a steel and aluminium construction consisting
of concentric, roll-formed panels painted in two tones. Steve
Jones, also a co-founder of Innermost, is particularly excited
about this new collaboration with Peter Mac Cann and Made*
- “their designs have a simple but elegant engineered
quality that hides the complexity that goes into creating
them”. In future, the Tie series will be enlarged to
include a floor lamp, a wall lamp and a mini pendant.
