<big>'''Alex Randall'''</big> (born in 1982, [[London]]) is a [[British]] [[lighting designer]] and [[artist]]. She is probably best known for her use of unconventional materials in large-scale [[chandeliers]], such as [[taxidermy]] and salvaged materials. Her studio is based in [[London]].

Randall first attended the [[Chelsea School of Art]] where she studied [[sculpture]] and later [[Falmouth College of Art]] where she completed an MA in Professional Writing.

In 2006 Randall started her career as a lighting [[artist]] and designed her first piece, the award winning Bakelite Telephone Lamp. In 2007 Randall’s work started making it’s way into the marketplace in stores such as [[Liberty_(department_store)|Liberty]] and [[Harvey Nichols]].

Randall’s work normally finds its way into boutique hotels, restaurants and private residences as well as the clothing brand [[Ted Baker]]. She has designed much of their bespoke lighting pieces for their international stores.

[[File:Squirrel_Wall_Lamp.jpg|170px|thumb|right|''''Squirrel Wall Lamp''''|alt=A cartoon centipede reads books and types on a laptop.]]

In 2008 Randall started working in the [[controversial]] medium of [[taxidermy]]. She took the ethical stance to work only with already dead or culled animals and so has worked a lot with [[vermin]]. Works in this vein range from [http://www.alexrandall.co.uk/index.php#p=-1&a=0&at=0 The Carriers] to the [http://www.alexrandall.co.uk/index.php#mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=13&p=0&a=0&at=0 The Rat Swarm Lamp] [http://www.fastcompany.com/1647505/icff-2010-future-perfect-brings-the-whimsy-with-rats ‘The most nightmarish lamp ever produced’] and [http://www.alexrandall.co.uk/index.php#mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=30&p=0&a=0&at=0 Squirrel Wall Lights].

Randall works collaboratively with the photographer [http://www.clairerosenphoto.com/ Claire Rosen]. Their images have won multiple awards.

Randall is involved with the charity [http://www.freddieforaday.com/ Freddie For A Day], creating a large scale cast of the statue of [[Freddie Mercury]] for the benefit of the charity.

In 2012 Randall was invited by the boutique [[Hong Kong]] based store [http://www.lanecrawford.com/ Lane Crawford] to exhibit.
