Utilizing Utility: Rationale
This lamp prototype is made out of upcycled synthetic paper advertising posters, metal spacers and steel wire. Through staying true to the limits of the material, symmetry and repeating patterns I was able to create my lamp using structured folding techniques and straight lines protruding from a circular base to still create the dynamic form of this light It displays a contrast between a rigid and structured exterior to an organically shaped interior. The layers that form the light shade are constructed from the same base shape and the length is then altered- this in turn has produced a cutting diagram that is materially efficient as each piece can be tessellated against the next on a flat sheet.
The shape of this pendant lamp is similar to that of a traditional lamp, however contrasts to its structural design. it has been successfully executed in a way that it displays and also hides varying facets of the light from different positions in a room. However, still attains a warm distilled glow from all angles of perspective.
