Project Intent
design a battery-operated table lamp with working inner components and an on/off mechanism
#2 Geometric/Organic
combining organic and geometric forms into a contrasting sculptural light fixture
50’s Mood Board
exploration of elements with a nostalgic essence of the 1950’s
#1 Planes
experimenting with the interaction between planar surfaces
taking inspiration from products, trends, and historical events from the decade of the 50s
#3 (Selected Concept) 50’s
Diffused
Light appears dimmer or brighter depending on the thickness/thinness of the material it shines through.
Interactive
Creative ways to interact with and control lighting, including buttons, switches, sensors, etc.
Directional
Has swiveling or moving components so the user can change the direction or brightness of the lighting.
Ideation
exploring a broad depth of concepts inspired by form, materiality, and technology of products from the 1950’s
Final Direction
final sketch render highlighting button placement and contrast of materials
CAD
modeled in Fusion 360
Renders
final renders created in Keyshot showcasing the versatility of the product
Poster
highlighting the key features of the design and its stylistic elements
Prototyping and Assembly
Creating low fidelity models to narrow in on form and proportion. Printed final prototype and assembled LED and button mechanism by soldering and applying to 3D modeled battery pack.
Final Prototype
3D printed, sanded, and spray painted parts
