Designer Ted Bradley Integrates Sustainability into Porcelain Light Sculptures
In October 2019, lighting designer Ted Bradley shifted his career focus to create custom porcelain and LED light sculptures, emphasizing environmental responsibility. Based in Boulder, Colorado, Bradley employs a 300-step handmade process to produce unique porcelain rings, using New Zealand-sourced porcelain and solar-powered kilns. His sustainability efforts include carbon-neutral goals and eco-friendly packaging materials like recycled cardboard and biodegradable wraps. The sculptures, such as the whale-inspired 'Samsara', balance delicate porcelain with structural metal elements.
