Final project ideas
Initial sketches/concept
In my final project I would like to create a lamp that can transform into a mirror ball. Why couldn't a nice lamp for your grown up apartment adapt to your emotion and style of music? Sometimes you just want to dance in your living room, but mirror balls tend to be rather ugly.
During the next 19 weeks I want to explore different patterns, materials and ways of interacting with this lamp - why not twist it, have different tops from various materials, put it on a vinyl player, let it move with the beat of your favourite song or record your own pattern by tapping?
First render
This week I built a light source base in Rhino to experiment with the different lampshade forms and cut-outs. I think I will need to build a realistic paper model in the upcoming days to understand the dimensions better. Personally I spent a lot of time on the 3D building process, and should start drafting a real 3D model as well to understand the proportions and cut-outs better.
