Hardware Integration

Lighting has an key functional importance to almost every aspect of our daily lives.

It helps us read, write, move around, and take in our surroundings. These everyday experiences can be elevated by infusing it with a sense of beaty.

A form inspired by the draping, flowy look of flower petals and curtains.

The fully-3D printable lamp balances aesthetics with manufacturability, creating a competitive product for everday lighting that visually elevates a living space.

Prototyping

I began experimenting by testing the fabrication capabilities and light diffusivity of 3D printed PLA filament.

Using a combination of Rhino and Solidworks

The lampshade was modeled in Rhino 8 for more control over the surface curvature.

The base utilizes an annular snap fit for a connection that securely fits it without screws.
