About
www.eglamp.bizA multi-disciplinary designer, Nik Meergans has a passion for experimenting with different materials, old and new, natural and man-made, to find unusual and pleasing complimentary contrasts. Nik trained in ceramics at Medway College of Design where he specialised in salt-glazing (a technique which gives a similar texture and pattern to that found on an ostrich egg). He has worked in designing and making bas-relief tiles and mosaics before moving on to other materials including wood, resins and pewter and exploring the possibilities of computer-modeling. Nik’s workshop is situated in a converted chicken shed on an organic farm in the heart of the Sussex countryside. In this working environment, he is surrounded by both natural beauty and the charms of ageing, sometimes discarded, agricultural machinery that is somehow a feature of any working farm. It is a combination and contrast he finds constantly stimulating.
