LIGHTING 7
David Harber announces partnership
with award-winning lighting
specialists, John Cullen
David Harber, the award-winning British sculptor, is thrilled
to announce it will now use John Cullen lighting in all its
sculptures. John Cullen, an award-winning lighting specialist,
has pioneered architectural lighting for over 40 years.

Lighting is a deeply sensory element
with a powerful influence on setting the
mood and creating feeling for the viewer.

Recognising this, adding carefully curated
lighting effects to David Harber’s hand-
crafted sculptures transforms each one,
turning the pieces into an entirely new
visual experience from dusk to dawn.

Hydra The interplay of lighting and the carefully
considered materials chosen for David
Harber’s sculptures is used to striking
effect. The natural ethereal glow of
the Mantle II (pictured above), crafted
using hundreds of delicately latticed
Verdigris bronze petals, is beautifully
complemented by the subtle yet
remarkably warm glow of John Cullen’s
lighting. Iris Torus
John Cullen’s specialist lighting across
David Harber’s mirrored pieces is also
used to dramatic effect. An elongated
version of the original Mantle piece,
Teardrop Mantle is formed from hundreds
of marine grade, mirror polished stainless-
steel petals. By day, the mirrored petals
provide stunning reflections of the sky and
grounds and now, by night, the lighting
enhances these reflections, elevating the
surrounding landscape.

Eclipse All David Harber sculptures are hand
crafted in its Oxfordshire workshop by a
highly experienced team of craftspeople.

Each bronze petal or black puddle stone
is painstakingly placed by hand. The
marrying between David’s artworks and
intricately placed lighting was the next,
natural step in adding another level of
grandeur to each sculpture.

Speaking of the partnership with John
Cullen, David said “From our very first
sundial to the wide range of sculptural
pieces we now produce, the relationship
between light and shade, texture and
tone has always been of vital importance.

Having John Cullen, who we believe
is one of the finest lighting specialists,
advise and assist in getting the very best
lighting effect out of our sculptures is a
great opportunity for us. The ability for
good lighting to create atmosphere and
mood for our sculptures at night-time,
has afforded a whole new aesthetic and
personality for our sculptures.”
Since 1981, John Cullen Lighting has
pioneered world-class lighting designs
driven by a passion for the power of light
and enriching spaces through lighting.

These principles remain at the heart
of the company today. Speaking of the
partnership, Sally Storey said “It has been
wonderful to collaborate with David
Harber to light their stunning collection
of sundials and sculptures. Each is
unique and requires a different approach,
bringing them alive at night with light.

It is the perfect marriage of light and
incredible craft.”
John Cullen lighting is available in all
David Harber’s sculptures from today.
