Wafting its aroma from under the garish signage of confectionery stalls, draped over hands and faces, cotton candy is one of the core rituals of a visit to the fairground. Candy Crush is a nod to these sugary tendrils, wrapping around a stick to form a colourful cloud. It draws on the fascination elicited by the textural motion employed to construct this confectionary delicacy. A sheet with moiré and iridescent reflections is wrapped around the acrylic tube that composes the pendant/light fixture. As the pattern rotates, the repetitive motion creates an optical ripple effect that conveys the impression of a material that’s transforming as it spins. The pink hue of the light contrasts with the design of the mechanical elements, and the futuristic aesthetic of the anodised aluminum parts. Two tubular aluminum hooks recall in detail the piston system that holds up the awnings of fair stalls.
