Starling’s new series of sculptures re-prototype Castiglioni’s Toio lamp and return a presently mass-manufactured design back to its roots in a number of readily available found objects, in line with certain past works that track particular materials or ideas back to their origin. “HOME-MADE EAMES (FORMERS, JIGS & MOLDS)”, a 2002 photographic work by Starling, playfully reimagined the Eames-designed, first industrially manufactured plastic chair into handmade copies. In 2001, Starling began a series titled "Home-made Henningsen, PH5”, for which the artist replicated aluminum modernist hanging lamps designed by the architect Poul Henningsen (1894–1967). Using discarded and recycled materials, in opposition to the factory-made, high-concept yet affordably-priced originals, Starling aims to return objects “to a kind of innocent state, taking an existing object and rethinking it again, as if for the first time.” (Quoted in Simon Starling: Cuttings, p.C5, 2006).
