"There is a reason for everything in its design"
- Edward Barber
Finding the Form
Development consisted of numerous blue foam models to test ergonomic propetries.
A priority of the project was to create a concept, which felt appropriate for the heritage and legacy of the Games but at the same same time light and modern, channeling the signature design aesthetic of Ed Barber and Jay Osgerby
Keeping it in the UK
Manufactured just outside London and in collaboration with several leading UK production and engineering partners under a tight schedule.
Light and Strong
This Torch is among the lightest ever due to its aluminium alloy which originally was developed for automotive and aerospace applications.
While being remarkably light, the Torch also possess high heat resistance and tensile strength.
