Some of the most interesting materials are not always the newest. For designer-maker Tabitha Bargh, inspiration comes from looking again at the everyday. Working with layered cardboard and reclaimed estate agent signs, she transforms overlooked materials into beautifully crafted contemporary lighting that celebrates texture, structure and light. Through material exploration and an intuitive making process, Bargh reveals new possibilities within materials so often dismissed or discarded, inviting us to reconsider both their value and their potential.
At Material Matters London, Bargh will present both existing and new work. CartOn explores the sculptural possibilities of corrugated cardboard, allowing light to filter through layered sheets to create a warm, atmospheric glow. Alongside it, Poly reimagines reclaimed polypropylene estate agent signs as bold pendant and table lights, including the launch of the new Poly 1 XL and Poly Table. Together, the work reflects a material-led practice driven by curiosity, experimentation and a desire to reshape how we see the everyday.
