Visiting his parents in Australia back in December 2017, London-based designer Flynn Talbot watched from the edge of his seat as the country’s decision on whether to legalise same-sex marriage was read out on TV. ‘I had goosebumps all over me,’ he says, as the yes vote was announced. ‘I was hit with an overwhelming feeling of pride and love for humanity.’ It's this moment that Flynn has captured for the Australia pavilion at the 2018 London Design Biennale, making a rainbow from +150 strands of fibre optic light, each one a different colour. Hearing about the installation we got goosebumps too, so much so that Zettler's in-house film team has made a film documenting the concept and process behind it.
