Post graduating a Bachelor of Product Design in 2006, Christopher Metcalfe established his own design studio in order to produce products conceptualised during his studies. Currently he works for Essenze in Auckland as their design manager, where he is responsible for product development, branding, web design, brand development and external communications.

Metcalfe's entry; The Crane Light - an interactive desk lamp, is inspired by every young boy's fascination with cranes. To turn it on and off, the user is required to pull the cord at the end of the lamp. The counterweight will then bring the lamp back to its rest state. The transformer is hidden inside the weight, making clever use of its space.
