The Skipper Collection is Tom Raffield’s most popular range. Rolling loops of timber intertwine to create the iconic shade. This leaves spaces where the light source is exposed, creating pockets of light that are cast into the surrounding space. The Skipper Collection is available in ash, oak, or walnut, handcrafted from sustainably sourced timber. Each shade is created from twenty made-to-measure lengths of wood which are expertly steam-bent to create organic-looking twists and bends. The process removes the need for any use of glue, and only four screws are needed to secure the pieces into a robust and sturdy finish. Finally, each Skipper is finished with several coats of eco-friendly varnish, which seals the grain while bringing out the natural beauty of the wood.
The Skipper Collection includes a floor, ceiling, wall, table, portable table light, and a pendant. Display the collection throughout the home to create a unifying theme or with other sculptural designs by Tom Raffield for a consistent aesthetic with harmonious character. The Skipper Collection seamlessly merges Scandinavian design principles and Tom Raffield’s familiar aesthetic, showcasing responsible and sustainable design at its best.
