Emerging Lighting designer Flynn Talbot (*1981) grew up in Perth, Western Australia.
Initially focused on furniture and product design, at the age of 23, Talbot began to exhibit his work in Europe. First in London and then Milan at the Salone Satellite. In 2005 he was selected as 1 of 30 winners of the inspired by Cologne competition and exhibited in Germany. He then moved to live in London.
Not satisfied with the sensory experience of furniture projects on his audience, Talbot began to search for ways to create more emotive work. He changed direction, to the world of lighting design. And hasn’t looked back.
In 2010 Flynn Talbot Studio was established and he was awarded ”Young Lighting Designer of the Year”. His interactive light installation Horizon was exhibited in Sydney, London, Perth and Frankfurt.
2011 saw Talbot hold his first solo exhibition with his latest piece “X&Y” at the prestigious Helmrinderknecht Gallery in Berlin. Since then it has been shown in Milan, Sydney and Paris.
Talbot now moves between his home of Perth and his new studio in Berlin.
As a side project Talbot has established a lighting design blog with a worldwide team of guest writers.
