sculptural functional playful
“A hand made lamp engineered like no other. I have bought a few pieces from Dan, balance lamps (which are superb) and the beautiful Clamshell Alchemist. Pictures really don’t do this lamp justice, as a mechanical engineer myself I always admire handmade mechanical designs, but to bring such a design to a lamp, make it functional and looking like a piece of art takes some skill. It is bit difficult to describe it in words really, you just have to see it sitting at your desk. You will be amazed. The service from BLOTT WORKS was exceptional, shipping was extremely fast and even got a very nice box that the Lamp was packed in.”
Stand-out statement pieces
Seriously cool but delightful limited-edition lamps, clocks and other useful things, designed to impress and amuse your friends and colleagues at home or at work. Not for the faint-hearted.

About
BLOTT WORKS is award-winning artist-engineer Dan Morrison who handmakes his unique functional statement pieces in his workshop in the foothills of the Yorkshire/Lancashire border and sells them around the world.
Dan likes architecture. And machines. He also likes birds, people and other natural forms. His past experience in engineering, theatre design, sound composition and as a creative maker have all led him down the road to BLOTT WORKS, which he launched in 2014.
His work draws on these things, not always intentionally, to produce items that have a strong sculptural, mechanical or architectural aesthetic, radiating personality and character, and bringing a sense of ritual or play into everyday activities. He uses materials with a rich industrial and decorative heritage.
Sculptural. Functional. Playful.
“Dan’s work is stunning. We have three of his lamps: they are a remarkable combination of everyday usable lighting, whilst being beautiful sculptural engineered objects that are full of physical and virtual movement. The precision of the engineering, and the ability to control their form, means that you are drawn to them, time and time again.
It has always been a pleasure dealing with Dan. If you see these in person you will likely fall for them, as we did. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
