CHARLOTTE PACKE

Charlotte Packe is a lighting designer and artist who was born in Suffolk and studied at Goldsmiths College. She has been working with lighting since 1990, creating lighting installations and designing bespoke luminaires for private and corporate clients as well as manufacturing small batch runs for selective retail outlets and boutique hotels.

'Light is one of the most magical forces, it is the most important element in our world and therefore within our home. I am inspired and in awe by light and to be able to work with such a magical force and then to select materials which control, capture, direct and enhance - it is the best part of the world we live in."

For me it is about designing the right luminaire for the space, I will meet and talk with the client or interior designer so we can discuss ideas and the architecture, textures, colours and space.

My experience has grown with working with a variety of materials. I work as a sculptor with my materials, forming the shapes from clay or paper maquettes, assembling parts and patination or waxing techniques. I will also work closely with local artisans and engineers who are all based in the U.K. Glass makers and metal workers and even saddle makers, if the design requires.

My workshop is in Norfolk, where I have onsite facilities to machine and fabricate non ferrous metals and to polish brass and Horn, to patinate our brass to a clients colour, to braise and to assemble and PAT test the lights. We have an area for gesso and guilding and a wood working area.
