A visual biography of artist, inventor and author Tom Lawton, whose work spans playful products, kinetic sculpture, immersive photography and soil regeneration.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The page is structured as a thematic visual biography rather than a conventional product portfolio, with sections linking design, engineering, nature, technology and personal philosophy. Lawton describes WakeYoo as a recordable alarm clock that sold more than 250,000 units, then traces a line through Firewinder, a wind-powered light sculpture, and Million Mile Light, a running light designed to work without a battery. The extract also documents BubbleScope and BubblePix as early immersive-photography experiments.
