Light
Brown University Design Studio
How can we integrate light into a room using cardboard?
Wanted to explore light shining through negative space in the middle section and from the top and bottom of lamp
Design Process
Iteration 1: hand cut
Wanted to explore light shining through negative space in the middle section, and from the top and bottom of the lamp
Complications
-
The material, chipboard, was not strong enough to capture diamond shape, in the middle, and cone shapes at the top and bottom of lamp
-
Light was not dim enough to emphasize a calming environment
Iteration 2: hand cut
Invite feelings of discomfort through the shape of lamp, yet comfort through the low light that lamp makes
Complications
-
Pieces would not stay together when lamp was lifted up, due to using a hot glue gun for adhesion
-
Inside circles were not aligned properly, which caused light to escape through the side more
Final Product: laser cut
Lamp can be used in different ways; as a chandelier, on a table, or a desk
-
Wooden dowels added for stability
-
Spacers were inserted to create exaggerated light lines
-
Mint color brings a fairy-like feel to the environment
